OK, has ANY of you guys had contact with XP? I mean, real contact?
It's easiness to use is at a level that has never been achieved on any of the previous versions of Win. It even tied on CNET's deathmatch against OS X (note that CNET has always thrashed Windows when against Mac OS.) OS X is spectacular (I should know, I own a G4) but XP is a darn good try by the Microshit guys (i like them as much as you do, but we have to give credit for their attempt). Just don't thrash the OS just because it's built by M$.
I just wished my os x had mp3 tags support in Finder.
Oh, I really don't care if many of its ideas have been stolen from Apple - just appraise them for having the good-sense of following innovation.

Well, I couldn't quite talk it into doggy, most I could get was a hand job.

A tricycle is easy to use but I prefer to ride a YZ250.  Heaven forbid the tricycles force all the rest out of business and I have to race tricycles.

You are pathetic. If Microsoft steals everyone elses ideas which cause everyone else to go out of business what innovation will MS have to follow?

Wouldn't you wish OS X had MP3TAG support within Finder???  :D

Funny how everyone used to say "I'd rather ride a tricicle than a motorcycle" when referring to OS 9's easiness to use against the complicated Win2000Pro. Now everybody boasts about the geek-like BSD underlayer for X.

Get a life, you asshole.

Oh, and I just TRIED to install Mandrake Linux 8.1... Couldn't resize partitions, didn't find my modem, had trouble with my optical mouse...And asked me for A LOT MORE personal information than XP EVER did.

Oh, and by the way, you said that M$ idea-pilfering runs competition out of the market...
Where the hell did the Dock came from?

Mac OS X on Intel NOW!

(evil grin)

You make it SO, SO easy for me.

You're going to try and claim the dock is a ripoff of the Windows task bar, aren't you, little man?  I bet you are.

Except that the Windows task bar is a ripoff of two things:  the Mac OS menubar at the top of the screen (in the Mac OS, and the Apple Lisa OS before it, since the early 1980s) and the NeXTSTEP Dock of the late 1980s.

NeXT was purchased by Apple in late 1996.  And at that time, all of NeXT's assets, including the Dock, became property of Apple.

Nice try, sparkie.

I love how you like to shit on Mac OS X, then turn around and demand it for Intel.  Yeah.  No hypocrisy there.

Also:  CNET originally declared OS X the winner in that "deathmatch."  Then, later the same day that article was published on their site, they "mysteriously" changed it to a tie.  How very . . . convenient for Microsoft.

Oh, and yes -- I have "real" contact with XP.  It's on the Dell behind me.  Microsoft has basically put lipstick on a pig; at least OS X's changes go way, WAY beyond just interface.

Sigh.

Jeez, give me a challenge some time, boys.
