1. Comment - VMware to Offer Virtualization for Macs

   You don't find many XP users bothering to learn the keyboard shortcuts either, because the mouse does everything they need, eventually.
   
   Maybe you meant to say XP does everything *you* need? Then it's a good match for you. Stick with it. It doesn't do everything *I* need, such as keeping TCP connections (thus SSH sessions) open when I need to switch to another network and back, or allowing me to rename/move/delete files that are open by other apps. I have different needs than you. I'm not into drawing pictures, but I wouldn't doubt XP is better for that.

   Well if Mark was fishing for a Mac fanatic, he'll have to throw me back. My MacBook Pro is unreliable, noisy, and overheats, and Apple likes to stonewall about problems. I recommend against buying a Mac. Their OS is better than Windows but that's not saying much.

   Because no OS is ideal for every purpose. As users become more advanced they find they need different OSes for different tasks. Some application vendors cannot or will not provide their applications for some OSes. Some OS vendors even buy up popular applications to keep them from becoming available for competing OSes, and even obfuscate the file formats, thus extending a near-monopoly in one market into another market. Example: Visio. This contributes to innovation in the OS virtualization market.
   
   One question, if you doubt the Mac is as good as all your strawman fanboys say, why do you read and comment on Mac product announcements????
