Apple's Leopard Strategy to Kill Microsoft and Dell?

RX8 writes "A Digital Trends article suggests that Apple's Leopard agenda is to get Windows users to use Apple hardware then convert them to the Apple camp and that Apple will also be directly targeting Dell by offering a better experience when it comes to media and related tasks. Lastly, they suggest that Steve Jobs held back on showing more Leopard features so people would not get too excited and stop buying in 2006. 'If you get too excited about what is supposed to be an incredibly amazing product you simply won't buy a new Apple this year.'"

then compete on price.

you claim you already have the OS and features I need and should want.

Now just deliver them for a price I want.

What a lie. Sure, the quicktime wrapper is understood, now how about opening the codecs?

Quicktime is absolutely as proprietary as it's MS competition. When you can play any QT file on Linux then get back to us about how open Apple is.

Last time I checked, Dell's laptops do not blowup constantly, this was just ONE, that blew up, big boo hoo. I have problems with *ALL* Apple hardware I have ever encountered, not just one.

So, are you an unusually uncreative troll or just stupid?

I hardly think one laptop exploding represents their entire product line. Are you sure you aren't trolling?

By the way, I haven't heard of any "hardware issues" on the Mac Pro. That would be quite surprising, since it only came out 4 days ago.

Every Mac I've been around emits some sort of annoying noise I can hear, eMacs, iBooks, iMacs, Mac minis, Macbook pros (these are the worst -- at least there are many other people that can hear these), Macbooks etc.

Not to mention my 'Macintosh experience' often lead to other issues with the hardware and software that Mac fanatics and Apple like to claim doesn't exist on the platform. Which is why I'm far more crtical on Apple products than any other, they claim they are better.

*Imitating Mr. Spock* Logic would dictate that the next computer they would produce would also have this flaw, unless they made reasonable effort to make sure it doesn't.
