| 605875 | 2007-10-28 09:09:00 | Haha, even with OSX, people still have to install Windows to make up for Apples shortcomings. Nah its just to cater for Windows users who can't find anything on a system that doesn't have a start menu or a right click mouse.:rolleyes::p |

I love how Apple blames the third party software all the time. Leopard doesn't look that exciting. From the end users point of view the only think they noticed new about Tiger was widgets. In Leopard's case it will only be Spaces that they notice. I'll just ignore it for the meantime at work (the same plan as for Vista). |

| 605878 | 2007-10-28 19:16:00 | I think it's a whole 5-6 percent of the market. So one out of twenty people thinks that Apple computers are as good as their prices. |

| 605880 | 2007-10-28 23:20:00 | If Apples are they good why do they only have 1 or 2 percent of the market ? Regards Digby Its currently about 8% and growing (about the same size as Vista) Microsoft licensed Windows, Apple didn't want to and wont license Mac plus a few other reasons. However the fact that Apple won't license the OS or the hardware doesn't mean that the operating system is closed to third party developers which is a common misconception among 100% of PC users. - the last time they licensed the hardware in the 90's resulted in Mac clones which under cut Apple and almost killed it. Apple has since taken things a step in the other direction with the move to Intel and software virtualisation which allows multiple desktops to run on Tiger and Leopard much the same way that PC user run Linux and Windows on a PC - Macs can run all 3 simultaneously with no loss of performance. |

| 605881 | 2007-10-29 03:26:00 | Its currently about 8% and growing (about the same size as Vista) Eight percent is still a pathetic market share, winmacguy. Pathetic. The stupid things just aren't versatile enough - that's why they don't do very well in the market. |

The stupid things just aren't versatile enough - that's why they don't do very well in the market. The market share might be "pathetic" but the resulting market value is nothing to be sneezed at, considering both the market share and market value are heading north ;) |

| 605883 | 2007-10-29 04:03:00 | Apples are fine computers, Granted they are not worth the premium asked for, but its the unofficial spokespersons that destroy all credibility. The official spokes persons are knob ends as well. And whoever is head of advertising needs to be thrown off a bridge. |
