This may not be as sophisicated as others but it works. To do this: - In the go menu, add the server to your favorites folder. There is a button at the lower left to do this - If you want, add the username and password to keychain. -Go to/System Perferences/Login, add the file/Users//Library/Favorite/ so that OSX opens it at login.
Viola! everytime you login to the computer it will mount the home directory. I agree this not very clean but it is easy to do.
More than likely, Companies like who Apple (iTunes and iPod) Microsoft ( windows Media Player) and Aol (Winamp) and SonicBlue (Rio) will more than likely flip the bill for it. Those companies won't drop support of popular standard because it is no longer free for who feel this will signal the death of the standard.
It is clearly good business practice to try to make money off of one's own innovation especially when it is so popular.
When I originally start with computers, my os was windows 95. At the time, I thought this was the best OS because of the wide ranging support. I could type papers, surf the internet, and pass the time playing games. There was one problem with the os- stability. I soon progress onto win98se with my second computer but the problem never went away. One day, a friend at school introduce me to Linux. I was intrigue by his enthusiasm for the OS, so I decide to give it a try on my old computer. The installation was difficult, there was limited application support compare to windows, and I was put off by altering config file just to get all my computer components to work. Though my experience was limited, I did see the value in the os in terms of stability and cost of using a unix based os.
Then one day, while I was watching a Macworld, SJ introduce "the future of the MacOS" which he said was based on the unix variant BSD. He touted that it would gain stability as a result. I new this to be true from my foray into linux. So, though I had long since dismissed the Macintosh, I decided to give Apple serious consideration when I bought my next computer. The following summer, I purchase a Powerbook. Even without OSX, I was impressed with the design and features of the notebook. Later, I became an early adopter of the OS and never look back. As I did with windows, I could type papers, surf the internet, and even play games. I could also compile open source programs to give the os some extra functionality such as full file sharing with windows computers. I no longer have to support Microsoft's monopoly just to stay compatible. I can even install Linux in order to enhance understanding about the os.
In my opinion, OS X possesses the best of both Linux and Windows. Since using Apple and OSX, my computing experience has become a joy as oppose to a frustration.
