It is the ONLY UNIX os that your grandmother can install and use.
The more Apple machines on the Internet the better it will be, fewer zombies and viruses slowing down mail servers and routers when I am trying to do research...
If MS made a Windows Shell that ran on UNIX and grandma could install it with a cd, buy hardware and it never got compromised I would suggest that 99% of the computer users switch to the BSD/MS Windows OS. Since MS does not make this product I believe that 99% of computer users should use Apple hardware/software.
Owning and using a MS windows machine should REQUIRE a Windows state certified license, proof that you are not an idiot.
only after 100 million users have it and there are viruses, spyware, adware and trojans. Then big smart company XYZ says we are making a secure OS and will commence patching all the holes we have made.
or
Do you think secure OS design starts long before the users have it and the hackers break it?
Could Apple market share be at 50% in 6 months due to piracy?
If they could it would cause serious waves in the Microsoft monolithic culture. Home user software would see a serous shift in platform support. The honest people would buy the software and Apple would be in a great position.
Sure we run on Dell computers, but when you want a cool/sexy computer buy an Apple Mactel. Man if I quit super-sizing my fast food I can afford the apple for a nickel more rather than the Dell...
Doesn't a Dell computer remind you of Darth Vader???
got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft?
Of course not.
You got to spend a long time stuffed in your own locker with your underwear wedged up your ass before you start thinkin "I'm going to take of the world with computers! you'll see, I'll show them."
every UNIX vendor uses Samba. If MS can destroy Samba then all he UNIX shops have to buy a Windows server to serve files for a few of the PeeCees... Including Mac OS X shops.;-)
Software hypervisors can be buggy. Can you really trust Microsoft to run as a Hypervisor in Ring 0? Can you trust them to run the Hypervisor on top of a standard OS that Microsoft makes with hundreds of ports open, several unnecessary services and lots of security holes and buffer overflow exploits?
Where are you today and are you sure you want to go to Microsoft tomorrow? Pacifica technology cannot get to us fast enough.
Look at your servers, 1% cpu utilization if you are lucky. 32 bit windows servers rarely need more than 2 gigs of RAM. When they do, MS Exchange, you have to wait 5 years for MS to make a 64 bit port. Exchange 2000 with 2 gigs of RAM is capable of 200 users mailboxes or 50 gig of data. I think if it was 64 bit we would benefit by running more RAM.
Virtualisation will finally allow us to get 80% cpu utilization per host. That assumes that the host OS is stable enough to run 20-30 Winedows servers and not roll over and die.
Why would anyone move to the Itanic? The Itanic I failed so badly you could not even really buy it. Itanic II has failed so badly that Chevrolet sold more Corvette convertibles than Intel sold Itanic II chips in 2005! I would hardly say buying any Itanic system is a worth while investment from a collectors standpoint...
FWIW Intel lost 20 billion last year in projected Itanic II sales that did not solidify...
Do you really think Steve does not drool over getting the chance to sell at least 50-100 million copies of OS X for Intel?
When OS X for Intel hits Best Buy do you really think that users are going to wait another 12 months for LongHorn? Aunt Sally just surfs the net and does email. This would be a perfect upgrade for her...
You got to spend a long time in your own locker with your underwear shoved up your ass before you start to think, "You'll see. I'm going to take of the world of computers! I'll show them."
Do you actually understand how the stock market works? When MSFT is a sell and they make NO profit watch the stock drop by 90% and employees, investors and owners bail.
You can mark my words, they will all bail and the software company will be liquidated for the fixed assets. Software companies are not worth a DAMN when they fall from grace.
"To reinstall it's put the restore CD in the drive and boot. Normally that will load up the correct 3rd party drivers as the PC manufacturer has put those into the restore process."
This has never really worked on Windows unless you have a machine stripped of anything fancy. The Microsoft video drivers are so poor that some users just say my machine is too old and slow. I need a new machine.
Linux works better, but has poor support for bleeding edge devices and ones that have Winedows-Only drivers.
Looks like Bonjour is patent free. In todays sue happy corporate battle ground it looks like the clear winner is the one that is quick to market and has less overhead.
I predict Bonjour will win, even though Bill Gates will throw a fit.
I also predict that a new security update will make bonjour not work or crash. We really want the Old Microsoft back, from the days of DR-DOS, WordPerfect and Lotus 123.
Slashdot Mirror
looks like a fake to me as well... :-( Bummer I wanted to test it out on my wife's laptop.
it looks like it is a fake...
looks like a fake, has not appeared on any site... A million nerds looking for it you would think one of us would have found where it is by now...
The .ISO image of Mac OS X 10.4.1 for the Intel platform.
Everything else is OK.
Could be the best combo and the least expensive. Volume drives pricing and volume drives software developers platform choices.
If Sony can sell 50 million PS3 consoles that can run Mac OS X and Apple gets 1/2 of those to upgrade you have large cash cow...

1) install torrent client .iso to cd
2) download torrent
3) burn
4) boot/install OS X from cd
How hard can that be? 99% of computer users just use the tools installed on the machine.

All the Microsoft software installed on a PeeCee is worth about $1. I think Microsoft should pay me to use Windows.
After you use Mac OS X all versions of windows look like ass...
The Mac Mini has converted like 150,000 Winedows users to the Mac OS...
Shitting Monkeys out his asshole when the rumor was true...
When they sell 50 million copies of OS X on Intel too will be shitting monkeys out my asshole as well.

Hardware Hypervisors can be very repeatable.

Quit buying those iPods, we make a WinCE device that can play all the audio you want.
You have to have a MCSE or Service Contract.

The future of databases must surely be Microsoft Access.
What about Apache, more sites run it than IIS???
