I think everyone is rite in saying it needs to be different or offer something linux and windows cant. I think the fact OS4 is so small and fast it has something the others dont. Speed in computing today is something that really aggrivates me, even with my quad core CPU my com still performs every day tasks at the same pace as a win98 P3. Number crunching gets better each year but I dont have to tell you innovation in desktop computing is almost non existant. Windows dominance cant last forever. its just not very good and their bubble will burst one day.
On top of browsers and office software, I think any OS needs lots of wizards to sell to everyday people, the mass's.
joe shmo cant install software under linux let alone all the other things wizards help com dummies for. I cant beleive linux still doesnt have real wizards. a package manager is not a wizard haha its obvious to get an OS to computer dummies you have to make it real easy.
so im calling for user friendly-ness...the very thing linux needs to compete with windows...i think tech heads forget that the vast majority of computer owners will say "DELL" when u ask for their brand of modem...(i did tech support for awhile...) even with a wizard for a task they find it difficult, but at least its achievable...
I really really think apple is a piss weak competitor and if someone had the vision, the smarts and the capital to make it happen, they could knock apple over and take 2nd place relatively easy...their strong hold in "audio" is gone and it didnt take very long...I am a pro musician and there was a time when if you didnt have an Mac in your studio you were a bad producer...things change and markets are not as unbreakable as some narrow minded people would have you beleive...you come up with the right product WITH the right buisness plan and youll break the big boys monopoly...
unfortunately for us amiga inc hasnt come up with either and man, ive been waiting a long time....what makes bill the maggot mcewen think he can revive amiga is beyond me...give it up you loser...give it to a rattigan...
