Things that make you think

I dunno what that means, really. LOL

I'm working on rebuilding a windoze machine, and am loading stuff on it right now. No VISTA...let's say it together...nooooooooo viiiiissssssttttaaaa!

Geez, what a waste of coding that is. MS needs to just give up and admit it failed and keep supporting XP until they write a new OS from scratch.

I don't know anyone that has vista that likes it...most went back to xp.

I'm rebuilding (for the 4th time, I might add), this windoze box because there are something things that refuse to talk to Macs.

Snooty, I guess, or just jealous as hell that these little wonders just do their jobs...

With the advent of iPods that work with Windoze (marketing genius, btw), people are getting more and more comfortable with the whole idea of apples and macs.

A person can't get into an apple store these days without having to shoulder their way in...have you EVER seen a windows store like that? I haven't...ever...eVER...

It's just a matter of time, I think.

MS is dedicated to the idea that all ideas are sacred and need to be protected and safeguarded - NO SHARING ALLOWED.

It's not entirely unheard of...most companies guard their secrets for fear of losing a share of the market.

It's amazing, though, that apple builds it's stuff on a fairly open platform (bsd/linux? heard of these?), and still manages to make a profit...guess it's how they get all these computer nerds to work for free to make things better...

bwahahaha...what a concept...you share your basic code, and you still make a profit.

Brilliant!
