The objection that I've been hearing is just this; if I am a network administrator, and I have a mixture of Mac, Windows, and Linux, and I get a tech support call of a problem running software on a Mac, I couldn't begin to troubleshoot it in some sort of VM. I'd have to have a Mac available to me, in some manner.
Yes, this company could go out an buy a Mac which achieves Apple's goal of selling hardware, but it also creates a barrier of entry for this company. As a small (tiny) software development company, it delays me from releasing Mac based versions of my software until I perceive a real need for it in the market, as opposed to speculating that there is a need in the market. Apple can do what they want with their hardware and software and licenses. I don't hate them for it. Apple just may not be for me and my business, yet. -Kevin CULLY Technologies, LLC Sponsor of FoxForward 2007 foxforward.net Ed Leafe wrote: > Apple is a hardware company. Period.
