Yeah, I'd probably agree. My brother has one and he showed me some of the

 The thing I was most disappointed about with OSX when looking into Macs
 was the lack of support for 64bit applications. They have been running 64bit
 chips since the G5 was released but Tiger is the first version of OSX (which
 on a side note seems to need an upgrade every few months for things they
 forgot to implement) to support 64bit out of the console environment. This
 was a big reason to stick with Windows and Linux (rantanything based on
 Debian rocks even though Debian is a good as dead now... *cough* Ubuntu
 *cough*/rant). Running SQL Server 64bit edition on a 64bit Windows
 platform is freaking fast! Java seems to love it and Eclipse seems snappier
 on my 64bit machines.


Surely if there is a market for it? they'd shift gear and adopt 64bit? maybe
its early days and so they are holding off?



 For me the best option was Windows and Linux on two separate desktops and

Not a fan of Linux. I've tried it and used it for a bit, but to be honest it
felt like HAM Radio style approach to things. Yeah I could do a lot with it,
but couldn't be arsed to be honest. I'm lazy ;)

 I know I am ranting but I just got back from a week out of the Brisbane

 Scott,



 I frankly require more web development discussions than this.



 This is really OT and as far as I am concerned M$ is a monopolistic giant,
 that's why they are in the position they are in. But now M$ are now forcing
 so many users to upgrade their computers to run the latest version of the
 OS, and not to mention that along side of the hardware comes a lot of
 software upgrades as well.



 Like I said, the pricing of the OS, and software in general is far over
 priced and we wonder why piracy is so rampant!



 Why don't companies stop spending on fighting piracy, spend the money
 elsewhere reduce the cost of the software and make it more affordable. Crime
 is getting higher and higher each year. And until companies wake up to that,
 piracy will be here to stay.

now by your market share that would mean the vauxhall's are by far the most

Jobs once said that BMW only has 5% market share and that doesn't mean they
produce poor quality cars.

which is very true, how ever BMDubya's are quite lame and boring, which

 That's one interpretation.  Another is that Microsoft's monopolistic

  - Microsoft will only continue to Support Windows XP for 5 years.

 And the fact that existing customers are left in the lurch is good
 reason to purchase another of their products?  What's the support period

  - Windows Vista has a minimum recommended specification (like XP once

 model).

 Hang on, this is a bit of a jump.  We're talking about home usage now?
 So home users should upgrade so that they can pay per-month fees for
 something for which they can currently buy a perpetual license.

 what

  - Given that code base is easier to develop to for both PC and XBOX 360

 Not really.  As far as I can tell they're trying to use the PC online

Yup. They may very well own the laptop market.

Yet and another piece of tid bit, its been 5 years of silence in a sense
from Microsoft regarding Operating System for average punter (XP was pretty
much the last home user build OS. Windows 2002/2003 was more geared towards
business grade users).

So in 5 years, Apple has been pretty much on the money yeah? releasing all
the fashionable hardware most love and enjoy (ie I use an iPod at work, and
yes people heckle me for it).

Now that 5 years on, Windows Vista is launched and a whole stack of things
are behind it's launch (yet to make public debut), do you think Apple have
enough traction to sustain that movement?

(I don't know the answer) just it's worth noting ;)

I'm running Windows 3.11 here at the moment.

2007-02-01 Thread Andrew Muller
How about what hardware do you need to run Vista?

http://blog.wired.com/cultofmac/2007/01/running_vista_o.html

Funnily enough, Macs are great machines for running Vista. They're new,
they're fast and they exceed Vista's demanding specs. They can even run OS X
and Windows at the same time.
