Seriously Adobe?
"Adobe's business philosophy is based on a premise that, in an open market, the best products will win in the end — and the best way to compete is to create the best technology and innovate faster than your competitors"
I thought the best way was to create mediocre, overpriced, buggy software and then simply *buy* the competition
"Unless you also hate Java applets, plugins, FF extensions and Opera widgets, how can you hate ActiveX?"
Because those other things run on other platforms than just Win32.
Oh that old chestnut.
It's really not that complicated; 'X' (or 10) is the name for all next-gen OSs after OS9. The first number after the X/10 represents the version, a bit like 98/2000 etc after 'Windows', only it follows numerically rather than by year. Then the last number represents the decimal point upgrades.
So... 10.4.7 = OSX.Version 5.'Service Pack' 7
10.X to 10.Y is a major upgrade, like Windows98 to WindowsME (snicker).
Yeah but it only happens once every four years, so there's lot's of pent up excitement to be released. It's funny, all the anti-football people come out of the woodwork around the World Cup complaining about how it's taking over their lives, boring them, or just plain making baby Jesus cry; but you never hear anything against the Olympics, that stalwart shrine of drugs and corruption....
Not true. The output would only be bitmap if you generated it using a non-postscript printer driver. Use the correct driver and you'll get glorious vector output, indexable, searchable, changable, lovable..
"Boot Camp simply means... being able to run at virtually native hardware speed..."
Virtually? Nothing virtual about it - you boot Windows on a Mactel and you're running at full hardware speed.

Flash 'developers' are like tree 'surgeons' - the definitions of these words are being stretched somewhat
You can't play music purchased from the Zune store on your iPod either. What's your point?
Exactly. Which is why they will be able to buy the Tiger version for $29. It's quite simple, try to follow.
Oh dear, I fall into both of those categories... should I seek help?
Er, no, his argument was that Unix runs on lots of servers, not OSX.
Wow, in that case I'm gonna have to cut down on the coffee because I'm having powerful hallucinations every time I walk into my server room...
McFly?!

Nah, they bought the only one a while back. Resistance is futile.

Er, I thought the deal was MS was EXPECTING a lawsuit from Adobe...

Then you haven't been applying patches....
I always though it was PEBKAC, but I prefer PICNIC as an acronym - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer
I know. In the non-computer sense 'virtually' means 'almost'. My point is Windows on Mactel runs native, not 'almost native'.
"Boot Camp simply means... being able to run at virtually native hardware speed..." Virtually? Nothing virtual about it - you boot Windows on a Mactel and you're running at full hardware speed.
While the zen will play AVIs, DivXs and the like, they still have to be downsampled with a computer to get a pixel count that the player can handle.
You're fine with your iPod.
