and for those of us with large embedded systems that
need dual booting into a real 9.2.2 environment, the
world continues to pass us by.
Talk to the millions of DOS users still out there (no, there's not a
lot of DOS-using consumers out there, but you'd be surprised how many
businesses and professionals still use it).
I'm not holding my
breath over these new Imacs, I guess I would have
liked to see a "kewler" version of the intel chip,
rather than an off the shelf version.
I would have thought getting TWO processors for the price of one was
"kewl," but evidently you have different criteria. As for the new
iMacs, I hate to say this because I generally love what Apple do, but
if you want to talk about "Rev. 1 hardware" rules this new machine is
probably the archetype. I will be watching closely (but as a consumer
and as a tech) to see what, if any, bugs shake loose.
And really, not
VISTA compatible?? what's the harm there?
There's a great deal of harm. First of all, I think Apple would say
that Microsoft should have "first dibs" on making (either via Virtual
PC or some other way) a "bridge" to Windows Vista. Second, you don't
actually know that it isn't Vista compatible. Nobody's tried.
Naturally APPLE aren't going to do that -- they'd be competing with
themselves in the OS market, and that's just nuts. But they've left
the door open for third parties, including MS, so what's the problem?
I've got vista with a
runtime xp engine... please stay away from windoze,
it's still a nightmare, btw.
you DO know you're sending some rather mixed messages here, don't
you? :)
Cheers
