However in macs Defense why the heck does the new shiny Vista still have a registry is that like old as dirt code. the one thing I do like of Mac os is the fact that when they came up with something new it was indeed new whereas with windows it still looks the same with a few functions (slight GUI enhancements)
Good thing you didn't forget to mention that Apple's Widgets are a knockoff of Confabluator. Or that you can't run anything newer than 10.0 on a seven-year old Mac.
And Konfabulator is a ripoff of desktop applications that were around when the Lisa was around.
So, you're wrong. And hell, Apple was the first company to bring the GUI to home computers, and the mouse, so good luck trying to say they don't innovate, plus your second remark is a load of crap.
What part of "couldn't shut it off" didn't you understand? The dashboard thingy is so different from every other GUI on Planet Earth that I wanted it to completely go away in favor of something else -- but couldn't make it do so.
I yanked the Mini Smack from my network and tossed it into a box. If ever a client says they want their web site or front end or whatever tested on a Macintosh I'll dredge the POS back up again.
Firefox can read RSS feeds and link you to the articles' pages, but it doesn't have an actual RSS reader. If you click on an RSS feed in either Safari or now IE 7, it'll actually display all the articles along with content. Firefox still does not do this.
So, the reason to buy a Mac is the Dashboard? Oy. That was the first thing about OS X on the Mini I wanted to shut off, but couldn't. Wnat a pile OS X turned out to be.
Wow does mac os x really run on computers up to 7 years old? cool. where do I download mac os x?
By the way, that Dashboard thingy looks an awful lot like Konfabulator, and Konfabulator looks an awful lot like Karamba/Superkaramba... I suppose it's just coïncidence. UhuM..
The only reason I said that was because I know from experience. I was successfully able to get the latest version of OS X (Tiger) to run on my Power Macintosh G3, which is indeed seven years old. However, I know for a fact that my G3 is the oldest machine that Apple says can run it.
Windows Vista isn't just ripping off one feature from Apple, they're ripping off a whole host of them. One notable feature being IE 7 RSS, though Safari RSS has existed since April 2005.
that was great!

Not true. I had Tiger (10.4) running decently on my old G3.

Same here, I have it on a G3 iBook w/640MB. Sluggish but perfectly useable.

yes, you can run on older PPC processors, but is almost like running Windows Xp on a pentium 100 (I was gonna say a 486, but thats too much)
Ive instaled on a eMac 800 and it often halts or crash
