I saw XP at a local computer store and you know what? There was no wanna-have-feeling like it was on Mac OS X!
</strong><hr></blockquote>
I got to check it out at a store as well ... I haven't been able to spend to much time with it, so I'm just going to fire off some questions ... why is there so much lag for the volume control to pop up? And what's with the kindergarden safety icons? Is M$ still working on the graphic system, or is it that X is just far superior ... I can't tell ... is it crapy icons ... or the OS? Do you still have to go to "my computer" to access your drives? Whats the largest file that you can copy between applications? Have they addressed that ?ucked up alias system yet?
Any other relevant info will be much appreciated ... as exciting as M$'s legal tactics, business strategies and technical airy hopes may be, (isn't it true that they don't even own the patent for their .NET strategy?) I am keenly interested in learning a little 'bit about their actual CURRENT os.
At least in X, you can use the terminal to make sure the process was really killed. XP is based on a kernal thats what? 3 years old? It's about ****in' time they got it right.

Yes and Apple took it back. See you must not remember the big deal ol Mike made it out to be. He was rubbing it in Apple's face. Next time around Apple took it back in a big way.

You mac people are a riot! If the mac OS is sooo good how come Apple has 3% market share and Microsoft has 95% market share and is the world standard OS!

In the US.. Macs have 4-5% mkt share. MS has 90% approx. Again mkt share doesn't = good.
As we all know there are more Honda Civic drivers out there than there is Porsche.
You know Porsche has less than 1% of the car market share? Porsche's must suck!
PC Lots and their denial are you saying that greater mkt % = better grover?
I surely hope not. I wasn't comparing Apple's to Porsches. I was showing the tard that just because the mkt share isn't great.. that doesn't mean something sucks. Esp when that something has been around since the dawn of Personal Computers. Rolleyes indeed.
[quote]That's fine. I only wanted to point out to everyone here that there is ALOT more to WPA than what Microsoft is saying publicly. Trust me, it has the potential to get very ugly, and, sadly, before many people realize what's going on, it will be too late.
Ever wonder why the DOJ suddenly decided to settle the anti-trust case?<hr></blockquote>
funny you should mention this--usually not one for big consipiracy theories, but Howard Schmidt, Microsoft's chief security officer, is expected to leave within the next month to join the Bush administration.
The Porsche analogy doesn't work because Porsche's methods prohibit their good cars from being produces in the quantity that Apple can comparatively produce their products.
Car analogies are weak, I don't care what the fags at Ars do.

How about VHS vs. BETA (don't even tell me VHS is better), or Zip Drive versus practically anything else that was competing with it at the time (click of death anyone), or how about the Amiga versus anything (where is that system now if it was so good?). The best does not mean the most market share or success. This issue has been beat into the ground, I am suprised some feel the need to argue it over and over that windows is better because everyone uses it. Sheep.

Well, considering you killed your OS X recently ('sudo rm -r' is tricky), I'd guess you don't use Mac OS X atm.
And btw: Welcome Mr. Thomas "Fotzibär" Chmul

It's a complete joke, if you ask me.
<strong>Force Quit sucks in OS X. Takes forever to come up.... when it does come up that is. Windows is near instant.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Force Quit works perfectly fine in OS X. What are all these problems people are having with Force Quit?

OS X is based on a kernal even older.

Yeah, I don't understand what people complain about either. I've never had a problem with Force Quit.

Are you kidding or what? Dell has about 5x the market share of Apple!

OSX is superior in EVERY SINGLE WAY. I have had the "pleasure" of using both and OSX is a much nicer design.
However I REALLY miss OS9, I still say that interface wize its the best OS ever.

Not in education...
