Gotta post this somewhere to get it off my chest, so might as well be here -

...as someone who was using OS9 when Apple had a death watch on it there's a certain amount of schadenfreude, mixed with wonder, at this situation of Apple as the 800lb gorilla. I get a giant kick out of the whole thing. :-)

That is all.

I'd get a kick out of Apple if it were showing microsoft how you can be successful without pulling all kinds of (dirty) tricks.

Unfortunately it looks like they are at least as bad as microsoft ever was and that the gospel according to Jobs is not that far removed from the gospel according to Gates. The one thing they've got going for them is that stuff appears to look better and works better, otherwise the new boss is the same as the old boss.

stuff appears to look better and works better

Gotta say, this makes a big difference!

It is the dilemma of the righteous dictator. We have a dictator who is good to use, but he is still a dictator. And you are constantly afraid of the next one that you don't know.
Naw, if the next one's bad I'll just switch to Android or whatever. :)
Microsoft with taste?
