In this, our third consecutive week of, "What the heck is Apple really doing with Windows?" we can try to ask this same question about Apple and see if there is an obvious answer emerging. I think there is. | ||

This article is laughable. (At least, the latter portions of it.)
"Now for the interesting part: I believe that Apple will offer Windows Vista as an option for those big customers who demand it, but I also believe that Apple will offer in OS X 10.5 the ability to run native Windows XP applications with no copy of XP installed on the machine at all. This will be accomplished not by using compatibility middleware like Wine, but rather by Apple implementing the Windows API directly in OS X 10.5." LOL. Let's see, the Windows API has been continually developed and added to since Windows 1.0. That's 21 years of features, functionality, bug fixes, compatibility hacks, and performance tweaks. And this guy thinks Apple can just slip this into OS X 10.5? Isn't that supposed to be released within the next year? Of course I suppose you wouldn't need the WHOLE Windows API--Wine is only a subset, one which provides those needed by key applications such as Office. So maybe if Apple would integrate Wine they could pull it off, but implementing the API "directly"? Ha. |

Dell Latitude 820: 2030 (1.83ghz,1GB ram, 3 yr warranty, DVD burner, 256MB Nvidia) MacBook Pro: 2448 (1.83ghz,1GB ram, 3 yr warranty, 128MB ATI) What business in their right mind will pay a 22% premium to get the the exact same hardware (I think the Nvidia might be a better card actually) and then if they were stupid enough to buy the Mac, they would have to pay for Vista on top of this? The article is a joke. "Professor" Cringely is a joke. |

| NotParker, how can you put a price on having a macbook, and immediately drawing the laughs and eye rolls of the engineers you work with. |
