I just saw one benchmark where the opteron, as the kids say, ain't all that. looking forward to the sept timeframe when we can benchmark with shipping machines....
ps. the benchmarks by the way are not telling the whole story. The G5 barely comes out ahead in the benchmarks i have read BUT the real world apps tests are blowing the P4 out of the water in some apps including digital media apps and launching and scrolling interface tests on panther- vs. XP.
>I think that we're seeing a disturbing trend. Although I do love Final Cut, I simply can't justify >spending the money on a Mac when I could get equal performance on an x86 platform for less.
Hello? If you think rendering time if the only benchmark and not the hands down award winning-est software interface and work flow of Final Cut itself then....bah.
P.S. rendering was Final Cut on a G4 will beat the p4 and rendering time on the 64bit G5 will simply own market for the next few years.
You should look into a G5. If you are making money with your computer doing things like editing then $2000-$3000 is a small price to pay to let you finish jobs faster and easier.
Just like the marketplace in general, Windows accounts for 97%+ of every software vendor's revenue stream (in regards to their software, and only when both Mac && Win apps are being developed; obviously, this wouldn't apply to BareBones, 4D, etc etc, neither would it apply to straight PC-shops), and Mac accounts for 3%- of revenue.
Wrong. Adobe gets 30% of their revenues from the mac market. look it up.
There is also an unspoken fear among software developers regarding Mac OSX - that somehow, someway, some UNIX nut is going to reverse-engineer their application
Which developers. I would say only the ignorant.
Just imagine that, for a moment - Photoshop, available for free, that runs on Linux. If I were Adobe, I'd pull all of my Mac titles off the shelves immediately.
You are cookoo for cocoa puffs.
At least you did not say Gimp == Photoshop...
- Premiere was left to languish before Final Cut 1
-Once Final Cut shipped adobe was very slow to respond
-Premiere is a crappy product compared to Final Cut
-Adobe has shifted its mentally to the PC even though 30% of their revenues come from apple's "5%" of the market
-Premiere is a crappy product compared to Final Cut
-Adobe was very late getting an OSX version out
-Adobe says they can't compete with Apple but now is competing in the PC market that has FREE products and products that also get better reviews?
-Premiere is a crappy product compared to Final Cut
-Adobe has yet to take advantage of the second proc in macs for After Effects even though they have been standard for years

If you have access to any machine, you can override security. Can anyone say, "boot up with a cd-rom"?
I thought you could. These are the droids you are looking for, move along... move along...
so its 12%.
guess what. that's more than a lot of authors get in book royalties.
10% for the creator of copyrighted products is the norm across alll IP industries.
I follow lots of dev sites and i have seen and know more about 10.3 then just the screen shots shown today.
Do you always assume you know everything in other's people's heads?
BTW, if you keep track of these things, you would recognize immediately that many of the features in 10.3 (2003) are being discussed as features that will be included in longhorn 2005.
this is a MAJOR update. I do not understand how anyone can say otherwise. Apple unlike some companies out there pack a lot of stuff into their ".1' upgrades.
oh i don't know, say a million different outcomes for a million different people.
most likely long bouts of unemployment.
Just because you can program (or think you can) does not mean you can run a company.
next stop: dose of reality.
Sorry - I took the details down from that page.
It wasn't wrath or lawyers that asked me to pull it. It was a friend of mine that works there.
I sincerely didn't know yesterday's presentation was supposed to be confidential. In fact I thought it was like an indie-music press conference.
Nobody's mad, though. Honest mistake.
Sorry guys!

or was it $35. sorry i lost the link.
I believe they charge OEMs $75 per.
Funny! Oh wait he was serious?
most don't. period. some do. but its not "most" by any stretch.
Because Trolltechs rules? Yep.

Looks like apple is poised again to take charge of the future of OSes. I can't wait till monday so i can see what will be in longhorn 2005.

I'm sorry. I know he worked really hard on it but jonathan ive he ain't.
Found this on the macnn boards:
