do you work for apple? sure reads like it.
Windows isn't standard and never will be as long as it isn't free. (Same goes for Macintosh, by the way.)
It's a political argument.
Fuck you and your /. trolling faggotry. Girls all the way! That's right, while I've been sitting in the IP-ban corner for the last three weeks, I've discovered females. FEMALES. The things you sometimes see on the internet touching their sexy bodies in attractive ways. The real things are squishy and smell nice, and are generally great to be around. Really. Take a shower and clean your teeth, go outside and maybe you'll find one. I don't need no gay Slashdot and gay trolling, trolling is for fags and losers, and you are all fags and losers. Fuck Slashdot, fuck trolling, fuck you. Suck on it, you faggots. Fuck you.
Its only a product delay shipment. Oh wait, its because its from Apple, the company who makes over priced, underperforming machines that get thrashed by an emachine which is a 1/3rd of the cost. Because it makes faulty logic borards, crappy batteries, over priced OS upgrades. Lets see now, 3x $129 vs $179 for XP vs $99 For Xandros Professional, the most respected desktop Linux distribution. You wouldn't care if Dell delayed its new products, but rotten Apple gets the front spot!
Meanwhile, Wikipedia has published a GNU/Linux flamewar as the featured article, now that is fun!
iMac. Is that gay or what?
Do us a favor, and don't assume anything...
It would be trivial to get a G5 in an iMac case. About the only challenge I can imagine would be if they are determined to continue with the "fanless" approach, and even that would be workable.

fag.
speak for yourself troll.
You mean we wont be seeing another horrible white PVC contraption with gimmicky chrome screenhinge running that icky winegum OS for a while?
I say Mr Jobs, you've made my day!
- It took western civilisation 2000 years to ensure popular literacy, and now we work with icon driven GUI's. Go figure.
Yeah, yeah, someone says it every time. But seriously, if a company like MS did this, the same people who I see here calling this a 'legitimate business tactic' and 'good marketing' would be calling it a shallow, greedy attempt to abuse market power.
Apple pulls this same stunt, time after time: witholding products to pimp the last few dollars out of the last model and then creating rabid demand by limiting supply artificially for a few months, then launching the new version at inflated prices. Why is it acceptable from them, but no-one else? Why do articles about Apple never have the overtones of shady dealings, corruptions, and victimisation of consumers that ANY article about MS is GUARANTEED to have?
I am no fan of MS's business practices. What makes me different (think different?) to a lot of people who will gushingly post in this thread is that I am no fan of Apple's practices either. Look at yourselves - you're barracking for a COMPANY for god's sake. The money still goes to their shareholders, and getting as much of it as possible is still their #1 objective. Fawning adulation just makes it so much easier.
