I agree it s a waste of time and money.
Anyone with an open mind and a little time to read into this "subject" will see *they* have been here for some time and the government knows about it.
Problem is, the government can't do anything about it so they deny it and ridicule those who've seen them including their own and the military. Just in case you think otherwise, do the research then reply. Skeptics do their research by proclamation instead of scientific and forensic investigation.
I've been telling people for some time now to watch Pixar closely now that the G5 and OS X has matured. It was only a matter of time before they finally switched the SGI and Linux stations over.
The rendar farm however still uses a mixture of SUNs and SGI but I've no doubt that G5 Xserves would probably fit in quite nicely... now if they can only start shipping the damn things.
Sorry but I just HAVE to chime in here:)
If Apple designed the bottles you probably would not be able to cheat in this manner. They'd just make all the bottles opaque with an aluminum-like finish with lots of little holes in them...
While I generally like Office, Remote Desktop and can tolerate Virtual PC (lack of G5 support is not acceptable) I find the Mac BU decision re: Exchange server quite criminal.
Yes, they added support for Exchange server in Entourage, however that support is for Exchange 2000 and only if you leave things alone in a stock install. We have numerous clients that run Exchange sevrer 5.5 and 2000 but turn off all but MAPI support. MS decided to not include any support for the MAPI protocol in Entourage!! They could have just ported Outlook 2001 to the Carbon spec and we'd be pretty well off but they took another route wich in most corporate environments almost lock us out totally in this manner. Thank Apple for including a fairly robust Classic environment so we can still run Outlook 2001 but if you've ever dealt with Classic apps and trying to get something like Outlook 2001 to runs problem-free then you know that we really need an OS X native Exchange client.
To add insult to injury they still don't offer MAPI support in the new Office 2004 they recently announced.
Just last week I sent feedback to Apple asking them to explore the possibility of them creating an collaboration system like Notes or Exchange on the Mac platform but making sure they use open protocols, 100% equal Mac, Windows and Linux clients, a plug-in system to integrate with Notes and Exchange and practically give it away. Talks about a killer app for Mac OS X Server.
I'm so sick of MS being such a crybaby.
Looks guys, face reality, there are some very good competitors out there who would like to make some money in a market that you don't dominate, yet.
So, cry a bit, try to buy something you can rush to market, lock it in to Windows so your user base DOESNT have a choice and the others will come up with something new and the whole merry go round can start all over again.
Get over it.

Still haven't figured out how to cut and paste huh?
Or maybe you're just lazy.
Some of you may remember the that little dispute MS has having with the DOJ back in 98?

Here's an excerpt from some testimony from an email from Ben Waldman, then Mac BU manager, to Bill Gates:

Here's also some testimony from Dr. Avie Tevanian, head of software engineering @ Apple during the trial as well.

Seems to me the Mac BU is doing just enough to keep us happy but keeping us in check at the same time...
Also, this little tidbit goes a long way to show you how far they will go to maintain the competitive edge:
