    Here's a space for you to use to go off on another tangent:

    ________________________________________



    I total know what Darwin is, it is the open source core of OSX, open source in the fact that Apple will release the Intel code, but not the ARM. Why is this, especailly if they are the same like you claim? Now you can use your tangent since you don't understand.

    It's a big deal to not mention it. The iPhone OS has a big future, WinXP does not. i.e. the iPhone, Touch, and soon to be iPad are very worthy of mention, whereas the netbooks . . . not so much.



    and all these old mac phones pods touchs never die

    the legacy market FOR used mac products is huge ..

    un told stories abound where a father passes a itouch or iphone or imac down to his son so he can buy the newest toy offered by steve

    or brother to brother . so the installed itunes or app base is ever growing .



    the ipod touch will out sell the iphone by 3 to 1 very soon / the gamers from every part of society are jumping in . !!!!





    and when the nano phone arrives the real fun will start ..



    mobile mac os has already changed the world and the world habits as we know it . everyone now expect's smart phones to do so much more in a simple fashion.



    go apple

    What an effing idiotic thing to say.



    OBTW, the answer is not only YES, but they already have the beta SDK in distribution.



    OS X iPhone SDK 3.2.



    Gee it's just the regular Xcode with the iPhone/iPad specific APIs added in. With the appropriate compile targets!!!



    OMG OS X apps compilable for an ARM core! Ohes noes!!!!!



    Wanna prove anything more about your lack of clue?

    effing? Do you meaning fucking? Why not using the word.



    With the current XCode for the Mac, you can target PPC and Intel, are you telling me from that same source you can target ARM? That's right, you don't have a clue do you.

    j•fann•ing [j•fann•ing] alt [j•fann\\•ing] noun, verb



    –noun

    1. a handle on the AI boards (see internet forums)



    –verb

    1. to perform or do repeatedly in a comically ineffective manner: e.g. To pull a jfanning

    2. to lack wit and sensibility: e.g. effing? "Do you meaning fucking? Why not using the word."

    2. to cherry-pick inaccurately and in a pathetic maner: e.g. "With the current XCode for the Mac" when responding to a post on OS X iPhone SDK 3.2 in Xcode 3.2



    -prediction

    1. The only place down from here is if the verb form [ e.g. To pull a jfanning ] were to become a 4chan meme.

    Thank for this Adobe. That's Adobe who actually drives professional market for Apple.



    If Adobe was supporting their older suite on Snow Leopard the move would be more rapid. I know because I also run some business and i am not planning to spend extra $1000-$1500 for professional graphics ugrades just so to run Snow Leopard if older one works just fine and does everything we need with publishers and print houses. Do you think it is smart to shell out some money in this economy... especially when publishing is not doing so well as it used to?



    If you do not have any expensive pro applications then you can go any way you want. After all you're going to pay $29-$49 only for Snow Leopard upgrade.



    I would think that those pros forced to buy new Apple computer and stil having license for older Leopard might try to downgrade if hardware allows.

    Apple PC's with OS X are at 6.3% worldwide market share.

    HP, Acer,etc. PC's with Windows are at 91.7% worldwide market share.



    //

    OSX like Linux market share is and was negligible, so why even bother with amazing news about enormous procentage.

    Did you really just compare one PC vendor against all PC vendors then say their growth is negligible?!?!?!

    Of course, it's not about PC vendors but Operating system share. And as I said OSX like Linux market share is and was negligible.

    if it's about operating systems and not about building PCs then Apple would have licensed their superior OS to all those vendors that have been wanting to get out from underneath MS' thumb for all these decades. But they haven't, so having the most OS marketshare isn't the most important thing for Apple or its customers.

    They are, but have stated none. You've just stated myopic opinions as absolutions statements. A little objectivity goes a long way. Fact!
