This is the thing about Windows that I never could understand. Can you imagine how users would revolt if Apple came out with 'Mac OS Tiger Lite"?
I can't imagine Mac users ever revolting. Especially seeing where they have to pay for a new 'cat' OS with minimal new features every 12-18 months without as much as a sigh. I guarantee Windows users would NOT put up with that. Hell, they have a hard time stomaching a Vista release, which will be coming out 4+ years after XP. And 'YES', Mac uses need to upgrade to stay abreast of the latest fixes in browsers, email clients, UNIX libraries, etc.. I think we now have 3 different altBrowsers which run on different versions of Mac OS'es, mostly because previous OS'es aren't patched correctly. Microsoft knows they can charge Enterprise more $$$ than individual users, and that's why there's an XP Pro vs Home. Originally, there were some significant differences, like Pro was supposed to only have multiple monitor support, but after the MS users complained during XP beta, they ratcheted down the feature differences significantly. Unless you really need multiple workgroup domains or Desktop Remote Access, (available in free 3rd party tools), you only need Home. -Chipp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
