Back in MY day, I wrote papers on a typewriter -- a backup copy was something I made using carbon paper and another sheet of typing paper.

Apple's kind of seen the error of their ways with Safari after taking a beating from web developers.
From what I understand (sorry, no links available), they will continue to update the WebCore engine under 10.3 to match 10.4. The only stuff you'll need 10.4 for are the RSS features.
Apple did make a small profit on iTunes. They just didn't expect they would. Steve Jobs disclosed during the iTunes One Year Anniversary conference call. Any profits they do make off iTunes should be listed in their quarterly SEC filings.

Change 'Linux' to 'Mac' and you'll have similar sentiment from the other 2%. We don't tolerate exploits in OS X, we don't tolerate Apple sweeping them under the rug, and we sure as Hell won't tolerate spyware.
I'm curious, with all the security risks and malware on Windows, and the low survival time before compromise, are more people looking to use Linux or Mac OS X, or any non-Microsoft OS?
I'm not trying to fan flames here or endorse any kind of zealotry, I'm genuinely curious as to why people put up with this kind of crap from Microsoft. Yes, other OS's have exploits as well, but the ratio of Windows to other OS exploits is hugely diproportionate. Shouldn't Microsoft have greater accountability for this, 95% market share or no?
Actually, the Music Store part of iTunes is web-based. iTunes uses the same WebCore engine that Safari uses. It's run on a custom port, and there's some additional code in there to keep people from accessing the store with a regular browser and to integrate with the rest of iTunes, but aside from that it's just a web app.
Can you post links to documentation backing this up?
From Apple's developer tech note on the current G4:
Boot ROM
"The boot ROM consists of 1 MB of on-board flash EPROM. The boot ROM includes the hardware-specific code and tables needed to start up the computer using Open Firmware, to load an operating system, and to provide common hardware access services."

Who says Microsoft only ripped off the Mac OS?

Adobe ported a Mac framework called MacApp to Win32 to maintain a common codebase for Mac and Windows versions of their applications.
MacApp is similar to Metrowerks PowerPlant, a RAD/GUI Framework toolkit.
They also used MacApp to port Photoshop 3.0 and Illustrator 5.0 to IRIX and Solaris.
