No, yiur just making my point for me. The reason why there are millions of
windows apps and not as many osx apps is because apple is 6%.
IMHO that's where apple is screwing up. They could immediately capture a wider
audience for people who don't need the millions of apps but want simple and as
I don't get it! Why would I buy OSX to run on my PC when there are a
million Windows apps out there that won't run on it? Am I missing
something here? Do Window's apps run on OSX?

You're comparing the wrong way.
Apple at 6% equals OS/X at 5%, people running earlier (say OS9) at 1%..
Linux at 9%-10%, and MICROSOFT (not Dell, Gateway, etc.) at 80% or something
crazy.
Here's the thing: OS/X makes up such a small slice of the overall mindspace
it's still a second-tier developm
Compared to what? Dell?
How big of a slice does Gateway have now? How big does HP/Compaq have?
In the grand scheme of things, 6% is a LOT of units to move. Sure it
doesn't compete with Dell, but we're not talking Systemax levels here,
either.

I have exactly the same problem, Explorer seems to be eating up CPU cycles.
Sometimes the damned thing stalls and requires a reboot.

Thanks for the advice. Spot on. Very nice AV
Thane,
Not completely a waste of time; other than the initial web-based update.
It did find and clean a bunch of stuff out. Yes, it did miss several newer
baddies. Not to worry. Advice taken. Demo NOD32 now running. I am
impressed. It is very aggressive and did find the rest of the trash.

Hmm. Well, I guess it might get you some attention.
I see a lot of fun to be had with that. Of course, one could have
about the same amount of fun with a cardboard box wrapped in duct
tape with something inside that rattled. :)

6% might be a lot of computers, but it's a very small slice.

6 % is a small slice, a very small slice. The fact that it can get much,
much bigger is what ought to be driving APPLE, were it not for their desire
to remain unique somehow.

Well image how much testing you have to do when your only hardware is
about 10 different configurations as compared to 1 million different
configs. The real reason windows has those really bad crashes ie
bluescreens and what not is because of driver level (ring 0) code that's
running on the machine

I think that's a good point, if it really holds up. Does the hardware

One advantage apple has over MS and keep in mind this is a HUGE
advantage is tight integration with hardware. As soon as they open it up

and its thrown onto to some crappy hardware and it starts having
problems just like any OS

Apple are pretty silly (IMO) to not sell the OS for all PC users as they are
letting everyone know that their new Macs are just PCslook we have Intel
CPUs and you can load Windows XPbut its still a Mac...
Other then the Apple badge
I'm confused.if OS/X runs on the same hardware as what you call PCs why
haven't they already captured this slice?
Oh, you mean they should just sell the OS standlone on the shelf or licence
it to vendors to sell with PCs. But then there would be no "APPLE".
I think that's decidedly anti-
