Not to start a PC vs. Mac argument, but the PC is dragged down by Micro$haft
WinBlows. To make the argument short, if the Mac would have had more than
educational and graphics software available when it came out in the 80's
we'd all be using Macs. Instead, the software industry during the 80's
concentrated on Micro$haft DOS/WinBlows apps, not any other OS. Which
brings us to where we are now, most people still associate Macs with
educational and graphics software as all that is available to them, plus the
simplicity of the Mac is against it, i.e.: If it's too simple, it must not
be able to do much.
Now, to tie this into the current ongoing thread.....
If Micro$haft rolls over, will anyone stick their arms out the WinBlows to
keep it from rolling over ;-)
Sorry, just couldn't resist!
