And STILL costs more! MS could make a pretty comfortable business supplying office software to 95% of the world's organisations. In fact, seeing as they lose money on Windows, their business may actually be in better shape than it is now.
Apple have been in direct competition with MS for 20 years, and they've only survived by picking their battles. Maybe now is the right time, but to my eyes it looks like MS Office is as big as it ever was. Windows is there to strengthen Office, Office os there to make MONEY. Best case scenario for Apple selling shrink-wrapped OSX for x86 is that MS has a new platform through which to force Office down the world's throats - what do we gain? We certainly LOSE PowerPC as the only realistic alternative to x86.
Oh fuck off. Your 20 years of inferiority complex makes everything you spew forth read the fucking same. If you had a life you wouldn't envy people who had girlfriends or used Macs or drove BMWs.
Get some decent clothes, get a girlfriend and get a fucking life.
And have a fucking shower while you're at it, you stinking cunt.
No he doesn't - I'm sure MS and/or BillG have enough nouse to have profitted from Apple's recent stellar stock performance, but there's no big, declared percentage ownership.
I think you'll find that British hard drives (or a t least those in laptops) are 'decomissioned' by being left in the back of taxis, on park benches or in pubs.
Replacing G5 with Pentium 4s is a backward step - Apple will go with something powerful and capable of SMP for the PowerMac workstations. If they don't, they'll die in the workstation market. If the competition is using Opteron and Xeon, that's what Apple will need to use.

mod up, surely?
Was it your piss-poor spelling that cost you the job?

What does that mean? He's a shower bag? Is that bad?
Nonsense - you can EASILY get Diesel engines over 50% efficient, and the best designs can beat 60%.
I understand the METHOD, but look at MS' results.

Wrong on both counts.
Yeah, the sooner you fuck off to the Moon the better.
You just want to 'take a letter', don't you?
I think the SENSIBLE thing to do is to go with the Ruskies for half the price of Ariane, no disrespect to the achievements of Arianespace.
Why did you frequent it, then? You know, competition only works if you actually vote with your feet and shop elsewhere.
Let's hope so - Tesco are WAY sharper than Walmart - you can actually get nice food there, for one thing.
I shop at Waitrose though, which is only right for a middle-class communist.
Hey! That's MY favourite Slashdot insult!
Well, I suppose imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery.

I'm on your side. Good troll, good joke.
The west doesn't negotiate with terrorists?
Mate, you want to grow up a bit.
Ha!

Those PPC 970 CPUs inside the iMac G5 line are figments of my imagination then are they?
Let's not even talk about games consoles and other such fun.
The word is HINGE you fucking simpleton.
Jesus Christ man, where the fuck did you go to fucking school?
Bollocks.
IBM will let you spend MUCH more on a Thinkpad with a 1024x768 screen than will Apple, and they're not the only ones.
BTW "that low OF a resolution" doesn't actually make any sense - try losing the "of" genius.
Insightful, when he can't even tell the difference between then and than?
That's some insight.
