They have a long way to go before they will have "serious"
competition, but Apple *is* coming on strong. I'm just disappointed
that all this negative Vista attention, hasn't translated to much of
an increase in Linux use. Linux is still 1-2%, depending on how you
measure.

I doubt Apple's recent sales boosts are related to VISTA. Going from a
Windoze PC to an Apple PC takes a huge leap of faith and an even bigger
gulp. Apple has introduced some splashy new hardware recently, including
some new computers. The MacBooks are selling like hotcakes at my local
Apple store, along with iPhones, iPods, et cetera.

I think the LINUX star is setting. At some point, there will be a really
strong port of Apple's UNIX OS to PC's that have been running MS OS, and
*that* will be a very interesting development. There are some ports
around now, but they are flaky.

Why bother with LINUX when you can use Apple's Leopard, which is UNIX in
a sweet candy shell?


Do some research before you open your mouth again. UNIX is a registered
trademark.

LINUX is the preferred UNIX like OS for PC's.

Apple took a UNIX variant and wrapped their GUI around it.

The LINUX star is still rising.
