I work in networking with PC's and build PC's, and there are some of you out there who really are lost to what Mac has become. I am sick and tired of Windows because the thing never frickin works. They have to put out updates, and no they do not charge for them but if they did people would go out of their minds. Why charge for something when the original was a piece of trash to begin with? Windows pushes OS's out there because the ones before them pissed people off, and that is the only reason there is a Windows 7 right now. If people were happy with Vista you would not have seen 7 for another year. </p> <p>Like I said, I have had enough of doing my computing on PC's that are less than capable of doing the smallest tasks without crashing.

Like I said, I have had enough of doing my computing on PC's that are less than capable of doing the smallest tasks without crashing. If I am going to go out and build a $1700 computer to put windows on it, why not just buy the cheaper Mac that will do everything I want anyway?

people have misconceptions on Apple computers, and I did as well because the last time I owned one was over 10 years ago. Things have changed, Apple has become a force, and I am in need of a new laptop and as soon as 10.6 is out I am getting one.

It may not be perfect, a computer never is, but at least it will NOT be Windows!

I fully understand the interrelationship of OS X to the iPhone. But reading Rene's posting makes it sound as if the iPhone OS is contributing as much or more to it's big brother than the other way around.

OpenCL seems to be the only significant bit that may trickle down to the iPhone, and probably not till the 2010 model is out. The rest seems like trickle up.

So in a way news of the release is no more related to iPhone users as is Win7 or Ubuntu.

Infact the reworked webkit in KDE 4.2 bodes well for mobile safari due to the HTML5 support and dramatic speed improvements.

That's why I tease Rene about the post.

I think he's an LG Chocolate lover who is forced by his job to use an iPhone and still can't figure the fucking thing out. No worries Ice. I'll get my grandmother to show you how so you can stop complaining about all things Apple and go hang out in the LG forum on HoFo where you really belong.</p> @frog: IceBike is a troll.

Is MS giving out free copies of Windows 7 to XP and Vista users? No! I don't remember how much the upgrades to 7 are priced at (depends on which version you want) but I can tell you that they are a lot more than $29! Also for everyone asking how this has to do with the iPhone, reread the parts where it talks about the Mac and iPhone utilizing ideas from each other to better both platforms.</p> @CJ - Windows users don't pay for upgrades to a new OS??
