I was never a fan of MAC OS's.  Used them for 4 years for graphic arts work. Then got sick of the random program drops, lack of processing power and older programs needed to be booted in an obsolete OS for it to run and not run well.  We'll see how this new OS pans out, my heart is still set on vista in a few months.

OK, so does it run on a real computer ?  If so, does it run real software ?  If it only runs on a Mac or only runs Mac software, it's pretty much worthless.  If it runs on a PC and runs windows software, it might be worth looking at.

Actually Vista copied most of it's styling from the Mac, though I am not a Mac fan.

Windows can't even run Windows software. Mac OS is by far a more advanced and user friendly OS. It is more secure, and does not degrade over time. There are virtually no driver issues with Mac. The specifications for the new OS are not out yet, but it will most likely be proprietary to Mac. PCs are not smart enough to run Mac OS like Macs can run Windows OS.

They may not have the largest market share, but their share is growing by leaps and bounds. It just goes to show that the general public are lemmings, and have been led by the pied piper over the cliff way too long. People are now becoming free thinkers and are realizing that their productivity level is increased by using Macs. Their proprietary graphical only use has gone to the wayside and now they are quite proficient running any office product, CAD, and even Windows better than a PC.

From what I have seen, I think the it has better value and better useable features than Vista.

Here is a new Microsoft product, but they should get their current problems fixed first.
