You'd think Apple would get a clue at some point. Everybody keeps trying to copy or imitate their UI (well, GUI anyway...no one seems to want a no button mouse...) whether it be big time companies or themes on *nix/Win*.* (ssssh! let me finish..)
At some point I hope they realize that they DO have advertising muscle, market recognition, etc. and actually sell a UI product SEPARATE from the OS/hardware combo they keep trying to push. If a product is good, why not capitalize? who knows what would have happened if the UI on the AppleIIgs/Macs would have been available on x86 architecture as well. (haha)

not read the eula? never hit I agree? because anything the install does you can do by hand. Sure it's a heckuva lot harder, but you know what is installed where, you aren't viloating the agreement, you never clicked or even saw it.....
Never have I seen any kind of packaging that states you must run the install.exe as the only means of installation.....
Yeah. Great. Remember the whole Terminator storyline? I kept saying "but we don't have walking robots yet!" This'll teach me. skynet/AOL-TimeWarner-Netscape pretty much done. we got like what, a year or 2? start rounding up the Connors......
I know this might sound odd....
Has anyone tried to have just a "manager OS", that's sole purpose is to run other x86 OSes? It sounds silly, but my idea is just to run it and drop some program into the guest OS that 'distracts' the OS system so that it can manage hardware, etc. Maybe drop in a piece of hardware
to help.
Huh... that didn't even make sense.... wait, alright, who secretly switched me to decaf?
