Apple's Fruitful Future
Apple's 30th Anniversary is prompting retrospective looks at the company's last three decades. C|Net grounds their look back in the here and now, commenting on lawsuits and competition. ZDNet complains that Apple still isn't in the workplace. The BBC looks at the company's world-changing aspects in a more upbeat story. Nick Irelan wrote in to mention a Forbes piece entitled Apple's Biggest Duds, so you can image what what side that article comes down on. CNN puts the whole thing in perspective, with a balanced look at the company's good and bad points. Finally, if you want some rumourmongering, 192939495969798999 writes "Industry sources have leaked that tomorrow, on the 30th Anniversary of Apple Computer, Steve Jobs will announce that the new intel-based Mac laptops will support dual-booting Windows XP and OS X 10.4."
Um, so, what's up with that MacNN URL? Is someone getting AdWords revenue for every Slashdot-reading Apple fanboy who clicks the link?

How about . . . Windows ME?
Well, how about Windows Me? Windows Me shipped more copies than Apple has shipped of all its operating systems in its entire thirty-year history. It's only compared to Microsoft's successes that it was a flop. And if the standard of comparison is Microsoft's successes, Apple has never had an OS that did anything other than flop.
