Apple... suckers?

[Calum]

i just got an email from Apple telling me to upgrade to MacOSX, and in it (horrors!) was a link to this page: http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/office/

Go and have a look! how patronising is this?

You don't get e-mails from MS asking you to upgrade your OS.

Also, I've seen Office v.X student edition (same as the one you mentioned, only sold to students) for 150 bucks.

Right now Apple has a legal obligation to advertise Office for MacOSX and bundle IE with MacOS.  It is because of a rather dumb bussiness deal that Steve Jobs entered into with MS.  All Apple got out of the deal was a few hundred million dollars(nothing to them, they are a multi-billion dolllar company).   I believe the deal with MS ends in a few months, it shall be interesting to see what happens then, and if MS continues to support them.

Apple and Microsoft have to be polite to each other for now, Microsoft because they know Apple's products are superior, and Apple because they know that if Microsoft really wanted to, they could crush Apple rather easily. Sun Microsystems is fighting M$ directly, but as Apple keeps putting out better and better products, they are doing more damage than Sun can ever do. This isn't a surprise to me at all.

MS is being friendly to apple because they dont want to make it seem that they are "promoting" competition and not crushing it.

Well aren't you an angry retard.
Try to think out your arguments instead of spewing out crap.  But I almost fogot, that isn't possible with most windroids.  And most Mac users do not live in San Fransico.  May I ask, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON???

[Master of Reality]

sounds to me like speed.

Most of my friends are mac users (I'm not, though) and not one of them is gay.  Plus, we live in the midwest.  Not quite San Francisco.

[Calum]

it's a lot worse than speed, whatever it is... maybe lsd??

Great, another one of these damn preteen homophobic stupid-ass trolls. Who the fuck keeps churning these little shitheads out?

I can hardly wait for him to come back and keep spewing his garbage so I can build a case for putting his IP up for destruction.

Mac Hater;

I'm a collector of computers. I currently have 29 machines here (16 Macs, 13 PC's), but I started with a Wintel box. I'm running XP pro on a 333Mhz Aptiva, 256MB RAM and 16.2 GB HD. This machine well exceeds microsoft's posted requirements. I also have a Power Mac 7100/80, running Mac OS 8.1, with 40MB RAM and 700MB HD. According to Apple, my machine is 'barely usable' (I'm quoting an Apple Customer Service Rep). Wanna know something? I use the Power Mac more often than I use my Wintel box running XP. Wanna know why? Because I don't have the time to piss away waiting for XP to get its shit together and decide it's not gonna open up a document for me. The Macintosh works. Period. All machines have their faults, but the PC has more than its fair share.

Lastly, did you attend high school anywhere in the civilized world? Because if you did, they all teach you to have solid arguments behind your statements. This is basic Grade 10 Social Studies here. Maybe you should do some research BEFORE you make your next post    :rolleyes:   .

Just a thought....
