I'm about Two months in to using IE7, and I fuckin' love it.

IE7 > Firefox

Originally posted by Surreal JRS Maybe so, but they are a hell of a lot more open standards compliant than Microsoft is. And I was referring more towards web developers not following a standards base. People shouldn't be coding with only one specific browser platform in mind. Use it. Love it.

i know this will sound weird... but what if there was only one standard, no more hassle trying to code for 343098 browsers. I know many web programmers know what I'm talking about.

Don't people already code for one OS already? (Windows a defacto standard).

OSX will die soon when Apple will slowly drop it.

Linux will always remain the OS people will continue to ignore.

trust me... don't you see it.

For about 5 years, Apple has slowly come closer to the Wintel world...

switch to OSX/BSD
switch to Intel
switch to Windows (bootcamp is out)

Apple has always been a hardware company, not a software development company.

Apple will keep making their cool looking laptops, ipods and computers... but drop the software which cost too much to develop and maintain.

I only code for IE and Firefox, and the latter can be a bitch.

You sound like John Dvorak, heh. You know that will never happen. Apple won't alienate their customer base like that. They're a hardware company first, sure, but there has to be some exclusivity and a real reason to choose Apple in the first place, and that reason is OS X.

Apple will never officially support Windows.

nah nah nah... its user base is very small compared to the windows world, its hardcore users which have apple because of OSX is even smaller because most people who have macs have them because they look cool.

now imagine cool looking apple running windows... they'll be after DELL in no time.


what if i'm right

Dell will NEVER EVER EVER EVER be ousted from their current place as market leader for OEM PC hardware.

You can buy a Dell PC today for $299 without the monitor. Cheapest Apple? More than twice the price ($699). Apple has a reputation to uphold, and they will never sully their name with anything shittier than the piece of shit that is the Mac Mini. Dell makes their buck on business leases and shitbox $500 computers for people who don't know any better.


It simply won't ever happen.

Dell is a clone maker, plain ands simple.... hardly spends anything on research and design.
