True. I'm not a die hard fan of Apple, but just after working for 12 years
with Mac OS computers I can say that I have always liked the way it works
much better than Windows. I just hope that "universal" applications will be
available a little longer than "fat" ones as it was during m68k -> Power PC
change. Their marketing is strange too - it was not so long ago when they
showed superiority of RISC based Power PC processors over old, still
somewhat influenced by 8086 Intel CPUs. Now it is just contrary situation.
