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!).
