"only 33%"? Would you take a 33% paycut if your boss told you it's "ONLY" 33%? who walks away from a $22 billion business? It's a growing business too. Quite quickly (check latest quarterly results). As Jobs indicated in "Back to Mac", the mac business alone would place Apple at 110 on the Fortune 500. >> it.

I guess they could (although it doesn't fit in the iOS model at all with file system stuff, compilers, etc), but what if you are deving against Ruby on Rails or PHP or Java for the server side? Gotta do that on Windows/Linux? What about the people coding the OS itself? Or the Apple Store (java)? Or iTunes? It's an insane idea. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
