Re: How many times must Apple make such DRASTIC architecture changes?

Well, we'll see Apple.  I hope for your sake Longhorn is a bust.

There's a lesson to learn from this: avoid single-sourced components as
much as you can. In this particular case: avoid any computer manufactured by only one single manufacturer as much as you can.


Could it be that the Mac is on it's way out! After a change to x86, what (but OSX and the firmware, a super display and in all-in-one box) makes it different than any other computer? The day of the all-in-one universal computer is on its way. Maybe Apple is making a last ditch effort to impact the PC world before it succumbs to MicroGates. Boys and Girls, get your dual G5 PowerMacs, iMac G5s, iBooks or PowerBooks while you can!

The only thing that _ever_ truly distinguished a Mac was its
software.  But Apple didn't see how to be a big company by
just selling software.  (They had their chance in the early
1990s, when most of the infrastructure was there for MacOS
on the PC, but declined the opportunity.)
