Hah. Yes, and Windows is faster and more reliable. You never hear about the transmission problems, or the underpowered engines, or the hidden recalls. You couldn't possibly imagine that maybe, just maybe, Hyundai or Chrysler builds a better car than Honda.
Oh, no, Honda/must/ be better.

UI, yes. Refined, no. I'm the biggest Commodore fan you can find, but Apple definitely had the edge in user experience. AmigaOS 4.0 is about to come out, and they've finally come around to making it look like... X11.:P
Because they went in being so goddamn confident that they were there, we'd almost expect they'd have a good idea where they were. If their intelligence can't find out where they/moved/, how did they know where they were? Were they moving off of two year old information, or did we all miss something?
Have you thought about how most of the inventions before WW2 were just evolutions of a design? If you look at it that way, hardly anything is new anymore. Refrigerators are just glorified ice boxes. Electric stoves are merely the contemporaries of coal and iron.
We've had plenty of new inventions. It's just that a lot of them are invisible now -- working to make your life better, without getting in the way.
Hey, way to bring up an operating system that was shelved three years ago! I think it's perfectly fair for that other poster to bring up NT 3.51 if you're going to bring up something as off topic as the Classic Mac OS.
True. At the time, BeOS was really what Mac OS wanted to be at the time. However, this new direction brought Apple into the focus of many other users, rather than just catering to the Mac-faithful.
You once had to give a Mac access? What, four years ago? I hate to sound like a fanboy, but I've had positively zero problems getting these Macs connected to our NT network, and I didn't have to change any security policies to do it.
I'm also amused that you make the comment that Windows can connect to any network and be secure. Are you new here? Windows doesn't connect to much of anything securely. Windows also doesn't connect to AppleShare volumes very well. It connects just fine if the Mac or UNIX machine is running a Samba server, though, since that's what Samba was designed to do.
Ugh. This kind of ignorance frustrates me, because it's a major block in the acceptance of alternative operating systems.
We have all of our machines at my company connected via a NetInfo network, and it saves our ass on a daily basis. Hardware failure? Drive failure? Swap, continue working.
Actually, they have pretty good Mac support, too. You're the one using a non mainstream operating system, you know what you're getting into. I use a Mac, I know I don't get everything either. Why don't you go write a driver?:)

Wouldn't it then be Kilrathi?
Sorry.

Sorry, I can't moderate on this one. But that was great.
Wrong.
Some medical companies, names upon request, use Windows NT as the OS that runs their diagnostic and monitoring devices.
Many come with a warning to restart the device daily.
No joke.

Mac OS X is based on Mach. The command line userland is FreeBSD. So, yes, they're running Mac OS X. Secondary, they're running NeXT.

"that number pales in comparison to"
means that number is less than.
Hi. I like English.
True. At the time, BeOS was really what Mac OS wanted to be at the time. However, this new direction brought Apple into the focus of many other users, rather than just catering to the Mac-faithful.
True -- but there is an X11 server for Be. Compiling on a BeOS target with X11 and BONE installed would theoretically be trivial.

With such an interesting assortment of platforms, do you have any intention of porting to Mac OS X or BeOS?
Not much, they're running IIS on Windows 2000. ;)
Too bad they didn't do this a couple of years ago. We would have been a lot better off. Good to see the executives saw the same thing.
No, no, no. That was the Commodore PET. The Commodore 64 never had that bug. Common misconception, since the 64 was the more popular of the bunch.

Keeps our sales guys under control, too.
It would probably help if you spelled "Vaio" right.
No, it does explain it. Man has said for ages that we *will* have flying cars. Hence, the total void of flying cars.
"popular format like OGG".
Kinda like a mainstream desktop operating system like Linux?
Dropping support? My 1998 iMac Rev. A still works, and it runs OS X. My 2000 iMac works, runs OS X. I don't see the problem here.

Without an overhaul, VNC wouldn't get any faster. You can't help bad code. :)
How about a RAID array? One of these in a FireWire enclosure that you can take off site? Why does it have to be magnetic media?
