Why??? This will not hurt apple as much as you think.. The reason is that M$ make their money in the PC world just from the software.. so when people don't use it, it hurts them..
If people buy a mac, and put linux on it.. I can't see Apple being too upset about it.. since they got the money from the hardware anyway.. Mac users are a loyal lot.. I can't see many of them swapping to a intel/amd system with linux.. more likely they might dual boot their mac with linux.. so in light of that, I can't see apple losing market share because of linux.. And it might have another benefit as well.. if apple gets any pressure from this..they might start advertising that linux on a mac is the best linux.. which can only be a good thing.. rgds Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Wilson Sent: Wednesday, 25 June 2003 7:10 AM To: JoeHill Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Linux passing the Mac on the Desktop?
