Owned.

By the time they finish it, Longhorn will be close to release and it won't matter.

Is it too much to hope that McNealy get his 64-bit product market-ready FIRST?  Go Scott, kick Billy's ass!   :D

Well, technically Mac OS X (http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/64bit.html) won't be 64-bit until the first half of 2005 either. It has extensions like a 64-bit math library to help take advantage of the G5, but it's still 32-bit.

I don't mean to bash macs people, just pointing out things.
