I've got the hots for the new Apple Power Mac G5. If there's one thing that I find Apple to be good at is to consistently come up with new stuff that is RIGHT the first time around. Contrast that with Microsoft whose products have the tendency to screw up until a few service packs or versions later. Yes, they do get it right eventually but they'll have to drag you through the mud before they get you there. (Besides the Windows OS that we're using, the DirectX API is another such example, which is currently at its 9th iteration. Anybody ever tried programming stuff using DirectX 3.0 before? OpenGL was/is much more pleasant to work with). And I agree with Leafbug on his point that if it weren't for the Open Source movement to keep Microsoft on its toes, consumers today would still be using piss poor Windows that is based on the 95/98/ME operating system (once said to be an OS with 32-bit and 16-bit extensions tacked onto an 8-bit OS made by a 2-bit company that can't stand 1-bit of competition.)
