Macworld Boston 1997-Full Version

15:07 its BUSH!!!!

oh! shit! TRUE!

I can't wait for another known OEM to make a Linux based OS and ship their PC's with that. Like apple did with OSX, which is purely based off the BSD kernel.

Well the processors are the same or better since mac had to admit INtel processors were better.

Yeah in *2006*. Before that, the PowerPC was outperforming Intel processors. 2005 - 2006? PowerPC fell behind, so they switched to Intel, and now they still keep up with or pass other competitors.

wrong it was way before powerpc hasnt been able to keep up since the penitum 3 it became a battle between amd and intel and motorola became unimportant.

.....and then the Linux showed up....

... Mac OS X has exponential market share over linux.

Yeah...that could be the truth. But not necessary. What market are we talking about? Server or desktop?
I believe that Linux has far more Desktop users then it's actually being reported. And it's still growing.
Macs are pretty popular in US, but here in EU...I actually never met anyone who has one. PCs rule desktop market, and Windows as an operating system...with more and more Linux users. We'll see how things will develop.

I'm a PC user myself, and agree that majority of people (even over here in the U.S.) use PCs and run Windows, but I wouldn't mind having a Mac, and I think I may even want to be loyal to Apple now. Because what do you think? Is it true that Bill Gates stole the windowing system from Apple when Apple had the Lisa? I'm not sure, but it IS pretty difficult to defend Microsoft on that aspect...and Gates DID lie about other things to get where he is today...I don't know.
