I hope it doesn't fail. But i suppose it depends on how you define failure.

On one hand i wouldn't even think about spending the kind of money they will be asking for the performance specs they have provided. So in that regard they will "fail". But on the other hand for the kind of money they are asking for it i would expect the motherboards to be handmade and autographed. That sounds real classy to me and far from being a failure :)

So i guess i'm saying for the amount of money you would have to pay for it, it isn't for the performance but for the quality.

Errm Karlos, are you sure he didn't mean "taking on Windows" as in making an os that is competitive with Windows like Apple did?

I didn't know you can take out Windows on a desktop... :confused:

I was thinking Apple were competitive against Windows in performance not market share.

Besides in my opinion Apple are a more successful company than Microsoft because they only a single company whereas Microsoft need many (hundreds?) of companies to make Windows successful. Maybe my opinion is oriented towards popular culture which i think everyone here will agree that osx has dominance :)

Not in my opinion. If I had to choose only between Apple and Microsoft, then I would choose Microsoft over Apple any day, easily :afro:

For the record i despise Apple. I hate the arrogance of closing in the users and i think their products are massively overpriced and overrated.

If you really want to know i am a Sony fanboy. I have been since i bought my first Playstation 15 years ago. Maybe fanboy is the wrong term as i think Sony is a bastard company so i will describe myself as brand loyal only. If i ever buy another laptop it's going to be the VAIO which i really like :)

According to Wikipedia* osx has a 6.82% marketshare and Windows is 84.97% :rtfm:

* Wikipedia is my source of all knowledge :)
