Did anyone see the article in the paper (well, it was in our paper) about what MS was planning on doing with smartlinks? I didn't get a chance to read the whole thing, but the gist was that they were going to configure MSIE to display a person's webpage with links to their own. For example, if someone had the word 'finance' on their site, it would create link to the microsoft finance page. It could supposedly even override what the webmaster had up as their own link. Needless to say, they got caught. If anybody can find any more information, post it up.

and i bet, he's better with commas, than you are, anyway, Microsoft makes some good products, like Word and Powerpoint, but I wish they would've stuck to apps, and stayed the hell out of the OS business, because, you know, the Windows kernels suck, and now we're all stuck with them...

and mac is such an innocent little company, theyd NEVER do anything wrong. theyre SO much better than gates. they have a LEGAL monopoly on macintosh. can you purchase a macintosh without macOS on it? can you purchase macintosh parts and build your own? and bill gates is so horrible....taking nearly all the business from PCs....yeah, hes a real jerk.

I won't deny he's a good business man. Any idiot can get you to install a OS, but it takes a smart idiot to get it to become the defacto "standard". Yes, he did steal the Mac idea, but Mac stole it from Xerox... In a way. And Sithiee, you can buy Mac parts and build your own. It's just the only people who like mac's are mac zealots who love apple so much they have to make sure steve job's had something to do with the building of their machine.

Screw MacOS - get PPc Linux

Bah, fuck it - screw Macs in general. Unless you sit on your ass and clock how long it takes a Photoshop document to scroll from top to bottom, a PC is better.

can you buy the parts to make a mac machine without having to have any of them be made by or ordered from apple? even if you can, the pc market is so much more open in this area, jobs has a monopoly on macintosh. besides, isnt having a monopoly defined as controlling 85\% of the market? dont macs count for more than 15\%? i dont think its fair to say that macs arent computers (well...maybe)
