You're absolutely right, there are plenty out there now. What I said was besides for the Indigoo iMac what other colored computers does Apple have, meaning currently. Since MWNY when Apple went to Indigo, Snow and Graphite for the iMacs I think that's proof that the colors are done with.

Of course people went out and got XP. After all those horrible and annoying commercials people probably felt they were forced to upgrade to that Fisher Price looking OS.
can we PLEASE get a moderator to shut this thread down. All we have is some a*shole trying to get us mad. Apple makes quality computers, people buy them, apple makes money, everyone happy, so what good is it looking at irrelavant numbers?. You on the other hand obviously cant comprehend the fact that we enjoy products made by this company. It is completely uneccesary to be try and prevoke anger in people with your posts and this is why i am asking the moderators here to shut this thread down. thank you.
What really confuses me about all this is why the heck this guy is a member of the Appleinsider forums? If you hate Macs so much and have so much time on your hands to say moronic things over and over and over again, go to MaximumPC and join their forums or something. Just don't hang around annoying people here.

Windows is the "world standard" OS because Microshaft stole the Mac OS. They used the billions they had to dominate a market with a cheap knock off OS, forced comp makers to buy and use windows software, etc.
And I don't know about XP sales figures. I heard it hasn't sold well at all, and hasn't sparked much sales improvement in the PC market as it was hoped to do.
It doesn't matter because I've played around with XP and I think it is possible that Windows sucks EVEN MORE than it used to.
People, people!! Why are we getting upset over ignorami who have absolutely no idea. The closest they will come to having enough brains to touching an Apple, is talking to us here in these forums.
My dear fellow Mac users, we are talking about morons of such high degree, that (as I was talking to a PC user on the weekend) they would not consider going to a Mac because they don't want to learn anything else. "I've been using PC's for the last 3 years and I'm so used to how to use them".
I then enquired that he most probably finds that 3/4 of his time is found with his head under the hood of the machine trying to get the damn thing to work after installing a driver which then renders his sound card useless etc etc......he replies "and the rest". I then tell him that we Mac users have a much higher productivity rate as we find such incompatibilities (can you pronounce that rbald??) pretty rare or easy to fix. He still resists, even after playing on an G4867 running OSX and a 15" LCD, COMPLETELY STUNNED AND ENTHRALLED AT HOW OSX RUNS AND BEHAVES. He still wants to stay on Winblows cos he doesn't want to learn new habits. I concluded from the conversation that these people's brain capacity is completely full from having to figure out how to get their machine working!!
My friends, please don't teach pigs how to sing, cos all you end up doing is end up wasting your time, you lower your standards of intellectual conversation and you finally annoy the pig!
One thing I always remember, Porsche drivers don't go around knocking onto Ford drivers' doors telling them they should switch. You just can't teach style and class past a certain age!!

In the same breath you could say that Apple stole from zerox! But why bother! If microsoft stole the os from apple like you say, how come apple isn't in the position microsoft is in today? Apple had the gui on the market first!Did microsoft steal the gui from apple and make it the success it is today where apple couldn't? If so i guess it's good that they did? Right!

If it gets out of hand I'll close it but right now there isn't a good reason to close it.
