I never heard of this site until Google News started to headline its articles. What a disappointment it is... I thought the article (judging by the title) was going to have some interesting points and insights. Instead it just has wishes and hopes of an ankle grabbing fan boy. Look man, you need to read the writing on the wall. Apple is getting ready to become a premium hardware supplier not take on MS. They went to the intel chip because they recognize nobody does HARDWARE like them (e.g. iPod), but their software just isn’t accepted by the masses. For example, Apple’s OS just recently passed the amount of current usage of WINDOWS 98! LOL. Apple is a threat to Dell not Microsoft. http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=5 I hate to see such a diehard “groupie” setting themselves up to be blind sided like this… its kind of sad really. Let me do a public service and help you understand why Apple isn’t going to beat MS, its called xcode. It’s a good tool for OSX development, but don’t mistake it as a good development tool. You are dead wrong thinking MS is stupid for bloating code to support backwards compatibility. Apple should have bloated their code and supported OS9; they lost a lot of Apple software with the OSX upgrade. Lesson 1: Developers and software decide the success of an OS. Windows has it, Apple doesn’t. The reason MS has such a large market share is because of the tools they provide, and have provided for well over two decades. You can’t just replace that with a new program and 5 years. The reality is Apple doesn’t have it anyways. Windows has a legion of developers and software grandfathered in, they are comfortable with Windows, and won’t just change over to OSX because you keep kicking and screaming “apple is great, apple is great, all hail Steve”. Businesses for the most part write software exclusively for Windows, and in many cases web-based application are exclusively for IE. This is a fact, and its the reality, something you should visit more often. Honestly, it makes good sense for a Business to write for Windows and not Apple OS (Apple has less then 5% saturation). It’s about MONEY in the real world (reality), decisions certainly are made with your emotional agenda. It costs lots of money to write a program for multiple operating systems and to support it on them. There just isn’t much return for most products on the Apple OS. That’s not going to change because you don’t like MS and keep saying MS sucks over and over again. Look, just promise me that when OSX takes the long dirt nap, you will get therapy instead of taking the bottle of sleeping pills, ok? In return I'll remember not to click on your site’s links anymore... it’s just not worth my time.
