My point was that if we make a comparison between the performances of Mac and other OS systems, we could find out the reason as to why people still prefer Windows/Linux over Mac..
Such comparisons and performance reports were in in line with the idea of what Kevin mentioned some time back.Trying to mention something in that direction.In any case, I welcome your comments. In any case, I want to ask Kevin what is the end result of the equation that you have proposed..The measurement..I like the idea but the end result parameter is not quite clear to me.Doing this for Object C would surely be a nightmare..We could however try that for Java.. I wonder if we could find a report on the number of people using OSX for Java development. I am sure Sun and Oracle (even Mac ) might be having such reports with them..
