  1. Shame. I was going to get a mac by Billly+Gates · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I use to write java code and I was considering a used macbook as a laptop back in 2006.

    Java is the most popular language in business today and it has surpassed even c and c++. WIth Windows supporting .Net and Java I decided to stick with a PC.

    Apple lost and even Linux is ahead with its must smaller marketshare because of its support for Java.

    Apple is supporting more and more proprietary standards and is making life difficult for software developers. In the end we are going to see more and more windows based apps if it does not get its act together.

    As much as I dislike Vista at least I can run frostwire, netbeans, eclipse, and VS.Net.
