What do you mean M$ is going the Apple Way?

Apple's OS came from unix, and lately it has been trying to get back to it's "roots" (pun intended)...
I mean look and feel of the software, marketing, and target groups - same as it ever was...

unix ??? it's as vulnerable as any piece of sh*t - I've successfully core-dumped SGIs with something as simple as a text conversion utility and I've seen SUNs eating their storage in a way that a 5-figure expense in data recovery was due... :razz:

but I honestly have NEVER seeen such a nice enclosure for such a complex thing as Apple delivers with their latest OS version (10.4).

why isn't the Linux community capable of doing it that way ?
Ok, it took Apple almost 5 years, but the folks you quote had (at least) 25 more... :wink:

in fact, I'd appreciate a Linux port, but only to put the card in an embedded system that boots SFP like a hardware rack.
there is a slight chance that exactly that will happen (fit CWA's strategy), but it could as well be just the opposite.

cheers, Tom
