No one at Micro$it is loosing any sleep. They know that there is an unlimited number of idiots out there that will continue to labor in the M$ gulac.

So what's next after Tiger?

Setting up a wireless network = black art? On a PC, yes. It took me 2 days of tinkering to get my wireless PC network set up AND running. And then it would stop working every other day. When I got my iBook, I also got an Airport Extreme base station. On the web in 5 minutes.

Microsoft is still the standard and leader for all technology.

Nothing has changed; the "real IT world " is not moving to an unproven, non-compliant OS such as OS X.anything.

The enterprise environment is the leading edge of technology and Microsoft is the premier vendor of cutting edge technologies for the enterprise market. Home users will look to the experts in the press and the "real IT world" to help steer them through the murky waters of computers. And the bottom line is: Apple computers are not being recommended by any serious players in the media or the enterprise technology realm.

For cutting edge affordable worry free computing you need look no further then Windows XP and the soon to be released Longhorn OS. Additionally Longhorn is going to blow everyone out of the water.

Furthermore with the new "widget based exploits" plaguing the Apple OS now is not the time to become a "switcher".

Follow the trail and you will find Sputnik is actually Bill Gates. No wonder things have slowed if Billy spends all his time reading MDN.

Ah Sputink - a view that deserves a good laugh!

spuntik, you want a mac. Otherwise, what are you doing in a mac forum? trying to convince us? or to convince yourself?

Pretty good article; interested in reading the next installment on M$ plan to beat its rivals.

Damd iCon is and crew are savvy! Unix variant for the core that is open source. Then you get the whole world of talented programers developing your core while you work on the top layer stuff like 'Spotlight'.

Sheer genius! {he sobs from a heavy heart}

M$ proprietary model is screwed. Oh well.

Sounds like Sputnik has been in orbit a little too long!

MS is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

Large businesses with dominant IT departments will stick with MS until increasing nonproductive hours on patches and problems drive them out of business. The other direction is to follow the trend to more Web services based on open standards and not MS proprietary standards so as to gain the cost advantages of Linux servers.

For consumers and homes, the PC has become a web access and communication tool, and a media center. For the former, Windows is either dangerous or time-consuming (for maintenance), while the Mac safely simplifies use of the Web, chat, wifi, and bluetooth. For the latter, while MS wants to put you to put its PC in the living room (while paying a premium for MCE) and focus on old-media television; Apple is making an integrated system of iTunes, the iTunes Store/IPTV, Airport Express, and the iPod the place for your media.

Another 18 months to wait for Longhorn is a long time. 18 months ago, there was no iPod mini, no iPod shuffle, no Airport Express with AirTunes, no Mac mini, no iWorks, no Garageband, so who knows what we'll see from Apple before Longhorn and the next major Mac OS X upgrade arrives.

Sputnik, go sell crazy someplace else. We're all stocked up here.

Your FUD wouldn't even make it into the pages of Pravda in its reality-distorting heyday. You make Baghdad Bob look like Walter Cronkite.

Nevertheless, happy Victory Day, comrade.

Sputnik is a Mac user who is just trying to jerk your chain. He succeeds admirably...

Sputnik fell out of orbit years ago. It crashed and burned. Is this the second coming? Back to the Gulag.

Heyyyy, all of you leave Sputnik alone. Come onnnn, it's not fair. It's de same reason no one picks on Katie Couric or Regis: You're not supposed to pick on de retarded.

No way. Gates is infinitely more intelligent than Sputnik. Even he wouldn't say Longhorn is "soon to be released."

Aaaahh, Triumph! How true, how true!

Sputnik is boring.

Less is More,

Lions & Bears. Oh, my!

I love Sputnik's posts. They are consistently bizarre and funny! Then again, people with similar attitudes actually do exist.

Macdailynews-Take: Unless you have a Macintosh.

Damn Right. HDTV connected over second DVI-Slot. 2 Notebooks running on Airport. It's alle here baby and it's all good =).

Re -setting up a wireless network.

I just bought a G4 powerbook for my brother and it took 5 MINUTES to setup his wireless network.

Now considering I have only ever done this once before - 3 years ago!

It was literally 2 clicks of the mouse!

Simple as that - now someone explain to me how brain=numbingly complex it is to setup a similar network on a Windblows POS?

Quick, tell your friends before they find out you're a zealot and stop taking advice from you.

mac users have been 'sharing' the mac experience for years.. it just sounds too good to be true i guess..

the truth is.. while MS calls themselves the biggest software company on earth, Apple is one of the best, if not the best, software maker out there. Bottom line, you buy a mac for the software (os x, exclusive apps) not because it has a neato case.

I have PC friends that still think the iMac 97 resurgence of Apple was because of the cool colours.

Okay, you're giving this guy too much credit for what is essentially pure sarcasm. That's clever? A 5 year old knows what sarcasm is. I think Thurrott's lies are more hilarious.

Sputnik: An obsolete piece of junk that did nothing but spin in circles and chirp about nothing in particular.

Sputnik must be a Mac user.

There are only 5 people on earth that know how to type the © symbol on a Windows system.

The odds of Sputnik being one of them are over a billion to one.

Sputnik, NoMacForYou, Sammy are the same person. Who ever this person is, he or she might be employed by MDN to increase hits.
