[quote]Originally posted by Chucker: Linux as a desktop OS will never be as good as Windows or Mac OS. The typical window server you'll use is X11. With that, you'll have the choice between 20+ different window managers, multiple desktops (KDE, GNO…

[quote]Originally posted by Spiffster: I think could be a hit because everything is free, but that is also its vice (no big company working on it). That's the reason why I don't think it will ever grow out of the geek stage. Its nice and all being …

I'm interested in Linux because of its portability.

[quote]Originally posted by zMench: Snoopy, are you a betting man? ?Cause if you are, I wouldn?t be surprised if 2003 will be a very good year for you (and I) indeed. Expect Apple market share to be around 15% and stock price at $80/share at the ye…

[quote]Originally posted by Brad: This is not entirely correct. That's like saying that if you install Windows on a PC that you bought that you're just upgrading it too. It is entirely possible to build your own Mac, but very few people bother tryi…

[quote]Originally posted by Brad: FUD. I don't know where you got this one. You CAN burn DVDs on an external drive with a Mac just fine. Perhaps you are confused about the iDVD app being limited to internal drives. And how is this not proprietar…

[quote]Originally posted by snoopy: I see that you are confusing proprietary system with what I would call a limited selection of hardware. No Snoops, I'm not confusing anything. Tomorrow morning I could get up and start a box manufacturing …

[quote]Originally posted by snoopy: I'd like to suggest something, since you are very focused on Apple having a proprietary system. I'd like to suggest that Microsoft has a proprietary system too, and it is even more proprietary than Apple's Maci…

[quote]Originally posted by Chris Cuilla: But wait...Apple is NOT selling a system that is 100% proprietary. In fact, with Mac OS X they are LESS proprietary than they have ever been. The Apple I see today is MUCH more willing to embrace open s…

[quote]Originally posted by snoopy: I am sure there are those who would never consider anything but an x86 processor, but I don't think it is as big an issue as you believe. What people are more interested in is whether their old software wi…

[quote]Originally posted by snoopy: I don't believe Apple can increase market share until they get a competitive processor, like the IBM 970. See my post above, about the burden of consumer education. You cannot increase marketshare with a p…

[quote]Originally posted by Stagflation Steve: That doesn't change anything, because even if the consumer understood that clockspeed isn't everything, Apple is still light years behind, I don't disagree with you, I was referring to the 970…

[quote]Originally posted by dygysy: Lets face it the consumer is used to clock speed to distinguish which is the fastest processor, I don't know if this will ever change. You're right, it won't change. Until consumers can be educated in a simp…

Heh... idealists... Who's protecting you from the big bad wolf? Big brother?

[quote]Originally posted by Aesir: Apple has reached a level of maturity (and in a sense - a critical mass of their own) I'm just going to use this as an example because I see it posted all the time... that Apple (or other) has achieved a crit…

[quote]Originally posted by Aesir: FTR, I'm not talking about the factors that initially started Apple's decline, but what is keeping them from reversing it. Obviously, the option to port the MacOS to Bill Gates has long since past. The opportun…

[quote]Originally posted by Aesir: For Apple to turn it around it really has to reinvent itself. And by that I mean they have to come up with a *fundamentally* better way to use computers. I don't know what that is, but it has to go far beyond (and…

[quote]Originally posted by Aesir: Greetings... Although I don't normally post in this forum, I can see the most influential forces that affect Mac marketshare are largely missed here. Lungaretta is the only one I can see who has touched upon th…

Hi guys. First of all, I suggest to anyone wanting to speculate about Apple's market share position read the book The Profit Zone: How Strategic Business Design Will Lead You to Tomorrow's Profits as it is one of my favorite books regarding the …
