Who is kidding who? From my perspective, I am a consumer and consider purchasing a first computer for myself, or for someone five to ten years old. Comparing all computers today and it is an Apple with Leopard I will purchase.
The year is 2007, and Steve Jobs and the boys and girls at Cupertino have melded quality computer hardware and software into existence. Apple has created the BMW of personal computers, indubitably.
One will never think or say, "I wish I never bought an Apple computer."
that makes it so cool, and a downright pleasant experience to be involved with.
And I thought after five different upgrades Steve and Cupertino would have lifted the experience of using OS X to a more 3D-level of usage somehow, but they haven't as of yet. Leopard is more polished and smooth than Puma, but nothing that real catches my attention is added to that Aqua experience. Cupertino is sort of scrapping the barrel trying to find things to add and evolve each subsequent upgrade into becoming something worthy of an upgrade.
Say you read it here at Salon.com first, and you may want to keep it to yourself, to think about and make a million dollars with: robotics, computer cognition. Virgin territory. Everything else in the personal computer market is saturated, glutted, and even the robber barons in the Justice Department want some of the Microsoft booty, now.
Obviously when the Creator is doling out the brains to some, It's scrapping the bottom of the barrel.
