Quote: Originally posted by vas Hey, what about some comparisons of Windows XP and Mac OS X Tiger on the exact same hardware? Will OS X be smoked compared to Windows or not? There would be something seriously wrong with XP if it didn't do bet…

Job's said the first machines would be out by Sping (WWDC) 2006. My guess for the 1st machines would either be the iBook and/or Mac mini. The the biggest bet on the Mac mini. My main reason is performance. The iBook & Mac mini have th…

I think that if the 1.6 G5 could run Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, etc (high end apps) say 15% faster than the current 1.67 G4, I think Apple might go for it--it certainly wouldn't hurt to do a "stop-gap" release before the Intel ones. It wouldn't be a…

Quote: Originally posted by CosmoNut What we know: [*]No Powerbook G5 EVER! -- For once, Apple can't make a product that it wants to. Back when the Powerbooks had G3s, it was hard to believe they'd ever get a G4 because of heat issues. Now, it…

I would think a move to Intel, the way it's described, would be a hard sell to developers--a "phased" release would mean that any developers that care about performance would have to release TWO versions of their app--one for PPC, one for Intel. No…

The reality is that there's a balance in deciding when to release a major OS--you have to balance the veriication time vs how much $$ you're burning every day you're not selling it vs how bad the "known" bugs appear to be vs the risk of introduction…

Quote: Originally posted by Chris Cuilla That used to be illegal, I thought. Predatory practices, "dumping" and all that. "lower than cost" pricing is only predatory (n the legal sense & if I understand things correctly) when its done to …

Quote: I just hope that Amazon was wrong. If the prices remain intact for the expected specifications, it would be really shame for Apple. [/B] If this is truly a minor rev, and there is a major rev coming (late summer/early fall) then this ma…

Quote: Originally posted by PB Do you believe that the 2.7 GHz processors were ready some time now and sitting in an Apple closet? 2.7 GHz MAY have been around for a while--I really don't think Apple would have wanted to ship a revved CPU w/…

With all the buildup, these new PM systems may be nothing much from Apple's perspective--I believe that Apple has done silent (no publicity), minor CPU speed increases in the past. This rev could be for no reason other than a planned iMac G5 CPU …

Quote: Originally posted by mdriftmeyer What a load of crap. Comparing OS 9 to OS X is a joke. Please lets put the two, side by side, to the test and lets see how quickly we can make 9 lockup. OK. For what my mom does--turn on the compute…
