In any event, you can stop reading here -- "With just 8 percent market share<http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/07/01/mac-os-x-approaches-8-percent-market-share-in-june>, Apple has significant work to do if it wants to catch up to Microsoft and solidify Mac OS X as a major force in the software business." -- if you disagree with the premise that Apple wants to "catch up" with MSFT. Does BMW want to catch up to Toyota or GM? Why are there different metrics of success in one industry than in another, and between two companies that are in different markets (hardware design and sales vs software)? Why doesn't Apple have as many stores as Starbucks? And your "independently derived" ideas have been commonplace since the early 1990s, if not earlier. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/ <paulbeard.org> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
