Yeah, that's a great idea...
Sell your NEW Vista PC for 1/2 of what you paid for it, re-buy all your software and become one of the 7.5% (I'm being generous) of computer users that own a Mac....
Although software should be more available now that Mac's use Intel processors originally designed for PC's. Easier for software developers to port their PC applications over to the Mac O/S.
And since Apple now uses technology originally developed by PC manufacturers - Intel Xeon processors and PCI Express Graphics cards, what's the difference anymore between a Mac and a PC? At least when it was all proprietary Apple could make a legitimate claim of being better.
So if it's not that, then what? The O/S? -
If it's so much better why does no one except Apple sell it?
Oh that's right, they don't license it to anyone else...
Interesting that there's at least 2 Windows on Mac emulators and no Mac on Windows emulators.
At our level, where's all the Mac-based dive computer s/w if it's so much better?
And since the Mac O/S is so wonderful explain this:
The World's 2,000 Largest Public Companies (Forbes 3/2007):
Rank Name Sales Profits Assets Value ($B)
66 Microsoft 46.06 11.91 66.37 275.85
242 Apple 20.68 2.43 19.46 72.92
It took a while to find Apple on the list, I had to go past IBM, HP, Dell and Sony. You know - the
PC manufacturers...
Money talks, B.S. walks...
Sorry for the hijack Jim...but I hardly think getting rid of your computer is the solution you were looking for.
