I can\'t deny the OS looks horrible. Maybe the worse OS X clone possible. But, it will still be popular. MS will have it installed on all the desktop / laptop computers sold (almost all) like they did with ME. Huge marketing campaign.  So either way, it will still be a massive OS.

Apple needs to focus on selling the OS--then the computer. What I mean by that is, you see all these commercials for their latest fashionable computer, yet they don\'t tout the OS. The idea commercial would have them selling both the hardware and the OS . They need to roll out a huge marketing campaign for MAC OS X. Get it in the public eye and do something edgy. Tell the advantages over Windows and then, if possible, they should buy Virutal PC out or at least sign them up as part of the package. That way they can also gloat how OS X can use those Windoze programs, for people who don\'t want to give up their Windoze applications. Only problem with that, is Virtual PC requires a version of Windows, so it would raise OS X price up alot. Maybe sell it as a package deal or some custom thing. I\'m sure APPLE could find a way to incorpate it. If not, they could still go on about the advantages of the MAC OS X and still have alot over Windows (i.e, UNIX enviorment!).

Belive me on March 24th Apple will start a huge ad campaign.They have put to much into this OS for it to fail so they will market it heavily
I recently discovered that my ass is the key to the universe.....now I must fight to protect my ass from those who might abuse it!!!

Bill: No! It needs out soon. It also needs big buttons.

Programmer: Big Buttons?

Bill: Yes! Apple\'s new "Aqua" interface has big buttons. We need them too!

Programmer: Oh..er..Okay. Big buttons.

Bill: Make everything colorful also. I want big buttons and blue everywhere. With some green for good sakes.

Programmer: Uh..

Bill: Make sure those buttons look 3D also! Apple\'s OS has 3D buttons! We need 3D buttons damnit!

Programmer: Oh..Okay. 3D buttons.

Programmer: Is that all, Master Bill?

Bill: Yes.

Programmer: What about device changes? Updating the kernel? What?

Bill: What? Why would you do that? We are using our most stable one already. Why go add things? Don\'t add a thing damnit! It may start crashing like Win98 and ME did!

Programmer: Good point, Sir!

Bill: One more thing..

Programmer: Yes?

Bill: Throw some new copy protection in there, that will piss off NetWork Admins.

Programmer: Gotcha!
 


There is more to this story..

Bill: Come back here.

Programmer: yes master, Sorry master. What else can i do.

Bill: Make sure u add more bugs. We need more bugs so we can fix them on the next release.

Programmer: Sir isn\'t that wrong.

Bill: no it\'s being a smart business man.

Programmer: ohh...

You can\'t just go out and buy the OS (or borrow the CD from a friend ;)) you have to register at MS.
Are you sure about this?? I haven\'t heard that before. That would suck (for those who likes to pirate Windows I mean, not me personally of course :D). So how is it supposed to work? [/B]


you also have to buy a copy of winxp for every computer in your network.  i\'m pretty sure i found this to be fact.  

i\'ve also heard that simple upgrades such as ram etc. require contacting m$ for probaly yet another upgrade.
