    And.. uh... iTunes having picked it from an old obscure browser (which I cannot unfortunately remember the name) which used an activeX IE5 inside for tab browsing and auto searching with yahoo/altavista. Think about closing the loop :)

    What if it is true? My mom does not need to play Doom III. My cousin does not need to load 500 things in the background (such as QoS and scheduler, great services of course...). My grand father just wants to play cards with friends over the internet, while his wife wants to print recipes. That's average things, and they ask a computer to do them. I don't want them to be blasted off by a great Aero Glass window border, because they can put that saved money elsewhere (notably in banks, so that I can have it when they die... muhahaha :P). Why would they do so?

    Same applies elsewhere... I bought my car (Yaris) for gaz saving (because the price in quebec is waaaay too high), not for speed. I don't need speed, I just go to work day and come back night, with a bit of camping on weekends and the usual downtown parties. Tell me, why would I buy the latest ferrari when I can put my saved money in something else, such as buying a new computer (i'm a geek and i play games and reverse hashes... oh wait)? Would you?

    Except if Indians start using roman letters, I believe translation is opened... therefore, Gandi, Ghandi and Gandhi, as long as they sounds the same, are conceptually equal, and should be considered as such.

    but that's my opinion...

    hummm.... no. Apple uses the last ATI card (ATI Radeon X1600 graphics with 128MB GDDR3 memory exactly), for which no drivers as yet been released by ATI. And it seems that ati drivers do not work on that hardware (at least not in linux), it takes VESA drivers... which means: no ATI drivers yet on any other platform for this particular hardware.
