Apple Offers Windows On Macs
As one poster on Slashdot.org wryly observed today, "Steve Jobs just missed out on winning $12,000 in the boot XP on a Mac contest!!! And you know the dude needs the cash since he is only paid $1 a year as Apple's CEO. I bet he is just kicking himself right now." More like he's smiling as he opens the door to increased market share among businesses and gamers. Microsoft comes out ahead, too--users don't get Windows for free. And whether computer users buy beige boxes or Apple hardware, Intel gets paid. The real loser here may be Dell (which has been making noticeable strides to make its computers more aesthetically competitive with Macs). « Daily News Podcast For Wednesday, April 5 | Main | Truckin' And 'Pot' » |
