They's gonna need all new 64 - bit software for this puppy to live up to its
promise.

News.com (CNET) also points out that by the time they actually get the G5 to
market in reasonable numbers, Intel or AMD may have taken the ol' speed
title back again, or at least the price/performance title.

Most Mac common taters that I have read, are taking this announcement with
2^(n!-1) grains o' salt, wherein n approacheth infinity, and beyond.

Most people with macs run virtual pc, or vmware so they can still use
Windows and apps.

Yes, what morons. Why not just save the money and buy a PC? I mean, Adobe
left Mac for PC as their primary dev target. That should be a sign to the
tards.

Just for once I wholeheartedly agree with you. When will people learn
that form-over-function is just plain wrong, and not worth extra
money?

"A floppy drive looks ugly, so let's just remove it"..

"Mousebuttons? That would spoil the design of our mice! Let's
just make them tiny and awkwardly round shaped. It doesn't matter
that it cramps your hands or even causes RSI"..

"We don't want those nasty eject buttons on our cd drives,
they just don't look good"..

They may have been ahead of their time once.. but right now
Windows XP is seeing OSX getting smaller in its rearview mirror.

That's true.. but back when Windows was still 16 bit with some patched
up 32 bit elements (Win 3.11) Macintosh had an advantage -
softwarewise - because a lot of multimedia development applications
were developed primarily for the Mac. I'm thinking of Macromedia
Director, Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, After FX and the like. I remember
I always had to wait much longer for Windows versions than my Mac
colleagues.. Ofcourse.. when the Windows versions came out I wiped
their asses with raw MHz power because Macs have always had a
speed disadvantage. Even if they weren't significantly slower
(benchmarks don't mean much to me, the real world does) they certainly
felt slower when working with them.

And now.. well.. whatever.. OsX may be more solid behind the scenes..
but it's a drag to work with. Give me OS9.x any day because this new
Barbie and Ken GUI is simply an infuriatingly bad travesty from an
ergonomic point of view. I keep losing my windows behind others
without a start-bar to keep track of them, I miss the Finder and that
Genie-in-a-bottle-animation when you close a window is G.A.Y.

Uh... Windows 98? If you're still using Windows 98 you shouldn't even be in
this discussion. Upgrade to XP...

Let's see.. 2003 - 1998 = 5

Why are you discussing 5 year old technology on the windows platform
with OSX? My windows XP starts up in 20 seconds. And my willy is
heftier than yours :-)

I don't know.. I very much dislike American cars because they can only
go in straight lines. I'd pick italian cars over american cars any
day. They look better, handle better and corner better and have more
style in general. Alfa Romeo baby, driving is not about dragstrips.
