Quote: Originally posted by Mr. Me At any rate, I think that the response by Ed Campbell which immediately follows really says everything that needs to be said. Actually I think the comparison to GM closing plants is absurd. A much better com…

Here is one Windows developer complaining about the tiny OSX market share: http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.ph...c_development/

Quote: Originally posted by JLL Who cares if Macs have a 3% total market share if 70% of your potential customers use Macs. Of course. Any developer in that situation must have ported to OSX a long time ago. However I though we were talking a…

Quote: Originally posted by Mr. Me You seem stuck on the notion of the "tiny percentage." Yes I am because it is important. No matter how well you market an OSX product, the maximum number of product copies you can sell is limited to a certa…

Quote: Originally posted by Mr. Me This is fundamentally flawed thinking in several ways. The percentage of users is irrelevant. The only relevant percentage is the percentage of buyers in your market. The percentage of OSX users is relevant…

Quote: Originally posted by JLL And tell their potential customers to go out and buy a VPC + a Windows license? Suddenly their app is much more expensive, and many will probably look elsewhere. That potential loss has to be weighted against th…

Quote: Originally posted by MacRonin Found this over @ ArsTechnica... Did Steve actually say x86? Rest of the thread is interesting also... While reading the above thread, I thought "What if Apple uses Intel CPUs/system chips for ma…

I think the dual boot ability will do funny things to the OS market share statistics. If I have legal copies of OSX and Windows installed, the OSX statistics go up by one, but so do the Windows statistics. If I use OSX most of the time and Windows o…

Quote: Originally posted by Gene Clean Novell's SuSE 9.3 and (today) RedHat's Fedora Core 4 have shipped with Xen. I suspect in the future many of the major Linux distributions will include Xen in their default install or as an add-on. So, i…

This won't run OSX86, so why bother with it?

Quote: Originally posted by MACchine YOU ARE VERY LUCKLY I FOUND THIS... http://www.sci-tech-today.com/story....story_id=34175 Modern OSes are structured in layers and only the very bottom layer(s) can be considered to be "glued" to th…

Quote: Originally posted by JLL Perhaps many customers would pay a little more to buy a Mac since you can run both Mac OS X and Windows on it. That way the Mac's marketshare rises, and when it reaches a critical mass, developers will dump the Win…

Quote: Originally posted by MACchine Intel has some tech that would allow for multiple boots of any OS on a single processor and does not use VPC at all -- I believe Apple may be hot to use that tech. 8) I don't know anything about it. Do…

Quote: Originally posted by MACchine If you had read the articles in the news on AppleInsider you would have noticed that the new Mac/s will be Windops compatible. Therefore you will be able to run all the Windops software you want natively on…

Quote: Originally posted by Tidris I would go as far as saying that the more successful OSX for X86 gets the less likely MSFT is to drop Office for OSX. Why? Because Office is the only way MSFT has to collect cash from OSX users. Actually I h…

Quote: Originally posted by Gene Clean Yeah, but then get ready to Mac OS X without Microsoft Office. As others have already said, MSFT isn't likely to drop Office for OSX during nuclear war. I would go as far as saying that the more successfu…

Quote: Originally posted by Junkyard Dawg Give me a break, if Apple began selling OS X for generic x86 boxes, it would start a WAR between them and Microsoft. I am sorry but an OS war has been raging for years already and Apple has been on th…

Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison Apple's reality is different. They tried cloning and licensing at Microsoft pricing and almost died. I don't think one can draw useful conclusions from that experiment. First of all, Apple hardware engine…
