Mac OS trying to challenge Windows is like a VW on train tracks trying to halt a train. Try to think of one thing Windows can not do today that any other computer can. When I think of why I bought an Amiga and compare it to today's PC, the PC has accomplished everything I bought my Amiga for back when it first came out and does a heck of a lot more. BTW did Apple computers ever get rid of that dull black and white screen or are they still back in the dark ages?
OHHH sometimes I break myself up.

OK, why does the PC out do the Macs in the business world, one reason Cost.
In our company we bought over 2000 computers, and have various old models still in use, we have a C64 that still is used to run a program on a old stabilization platform for air craft, and we have PC's still running from the original big blue's 8088 machines to the newest on the market. We have tried the Apples but they have all failed within the first 10 years of use, which cost the company more money to transfer over programs to the PC machines to keep the old equipment running. One of the things we found really bad about Apples old machines is the cost to repair them. If you think finding someone to repair an old Amiga is bad and expensive, try to get someone to repair an old Apple or Mac machine. Needless to say when an Apple product dies, we just throw it away and replace it with a PC, it is less costly to reprogram then repair and reuse an old Apple product.
Through much use we have found it much more expensive to use an Apple product.
Our newest purchase was a $18,000 Apple computer for video work, about 2 years ago, we now have replaced it with a $7000 PC that far exceeds what that Apple can do.
To put it quite bluntly when I got called down to look at the Apple, I laughed and told them that they would be dropping it in about 2 years, so we never did justify the cost of that beast.

Another reason I hate Apple products, the computers, software, parts, and repair are more expensive then the Amiga which is by all means an antique.
I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better
