apple has basicly become an alternative os pc manufacturer, and thats not a bad thing.
Haven't they always been that? Once the PC became defacto standard in the mind 90's... everyone else became "alternative os pc manufacturers"... I know what you are saying... but my point is that nothing has really changed. :-)
they have a strong and commited following.
Yeah, they've got the crazy freaks, like us Amigans :-) But apple also have a huge range of MacOS only software that is of exceptional quality! And keeps people like me with the platform. See my avatar :-D
and enough style to make it all work.
Yeah, their stuff does look good!
other pc alternate os manufacturers were missing that special something or other and so far have fallen. os2 beos etc.
The others just lack the software library... Linux scraps by because of it's good software support (but they lack the "Linux only" quality software). The AmigaOSoids really need some new quality, software.
mac os is now based on bsd unix isnt it? ive never liked apple but i wish them well.
A bit of BSD Unix, a bit of Mach 3.0 a bit of MacOS classic and NeXT Step... some other stuff all mushed into one OS :-)
Quite an interesting system.
