Also, they plan to file suit against Florida lemon, blueberry, and strawbery growers.
Apple: The company that cares.
Maybe they'll sue Microsoft for making a slow, resource-hogging OS to compete with OSX (the beta of which is slow and requires ridiculous amount of resources).
The notion that a corporate entity would be interested enough in a dinky on-line poll to order a subsidiary to rig it is downright silly.
But, believe it or not, there really are Windows zealots out there. They post a call to action on a slashdot counterpart and bang! you've got a surprising change in results.
It's like the man said: Nothing breeds zealotry like zealotry.
What if they held a revolution and nobody showed up?
By the time these corporate vultures and bureaucratic sycophants finally get the job done, the standard will
be an absolute unmanufacturable mess- and consumers will no longer care.
Standard definition is dead. Long live standard def.
When your "next generation" OS is delayed six years, rumors are all you have. Hell, I've often wondered if macosrumors.com is a marketing wing of Apple.
You are now in a large room with steel girders supporting an arching ceiling with walkways to the NORTH and to the EAST.
A guy dressed in green with the handle "WrathMonkey" stands ten yards in front of you with a large shot gun. >:Change weapons

OK. The green guy is now dead. I hope you feel good about yourself.
A few months ago when the game was hot and heavy (I was in the top 100 for a week or so!), lots of people picked (or to use the proper verb, f*cked) f*cked company itself- predicting that they would be swallowed up or simply bust under its own PR weight.

In an effort to stay in the middle of the e-tailing fray, Amazon.com has just opened its weapons-grade plutonium site. And as it has done with other business segment introductions, Amazon will stage an enormous give-away of nearly a metric ton of radioactive material.
"We're very excited about this new market," said amason president Jeff Bezos. "We feel that other hazardous materials may come on line very soon, including oily mung and vials of anthrax!"

How long will it take for people to get over the idea of Unix being all things to all people? It's a great server OS- and some people use it on the desktop without problems because it fits their needs.
Why does anyone care what OS grandma is going to use on her web-pad? It's like arguing about the curtains on an oil rig. Forking for the sake of desktop market share will only serve to weaken the elements that made it strong to begin with.
