The only difference they see is they run faster. On the other hand, I have clients running ancient 16-bit Windows applications on brand new Dell boxes with XP without a hitch.

X requires that you (generally) have purchase new versions of whatever software you use to get the performance and features of X. And these computers seamlessly run their old applications.

I really think that Apple burned itself by making X’s computing requirements so hefty and not truly backwards compatible (face I–Classic mode sucks.) I have had many people inquire about upgrading, but since most of these people had older G3 based systems (iMacs, B&W G3s, Powerbooks…) that otherwise run fine, why upgrade? It is easy for us to pontificate on the need for the latest and greatest, but what does this really get the end user with modest requirements? Microsoft does a much better job of getting high adoption rates on its upgrades mainly because PC users buy new computers more frequently.
I’m sure I’ll be flamed as a Machead zealot for even speaking up but I don’t care… endRant() Īs an independent consultant working with both Macs and PCs, I have to be honest and say I have not recommended that anyone switch to MacOSX yet. Really, Apple can stand without MS, IE is already being replaced by Mozilla/Opera and their version of WMP never works right. MS claims that sales of Office are not as desired on the Mac, well hell, shock to me, the average Joe and Mary doesn’t have $499 to spend on software? Office users on Windows only pay for upgrades as most received them as an OEM installation. So MS comes up with this crap story about not enough marketing from Apple, tell me, honestly, have you not seen those ‘switch’ ads a thousand times now? In a many a tech mag and riddling the TV? This is just some lame reason for MS to back out.
They know that their contract with MS won’t be renewed. Apple knows what they are doing when they *specifically* target Windows users. beginRant() Finally, the Wintel crowd would be able to curb their antics about how MS is the ONLY reason why Apple even exists.
