"640K ought to be enough for anybody." Bill Gates, 1981. "64 bit is coming to desktops,there is no doubt about that, But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology." It seems to me that by the time it ships, Longhorn will need 4 gigs of RAM.

<< I really don't see where OS X is far better than Windows. Frankly, the GUI is shiny, but I was quite dispointed by all that OS X thing. It is a good OS, sure, but not really a revolution. More, a lot of mac users hate OS X. I was surprised by that fact, but most music users I know who like mac hate OS X. The apps are not here, or buggy ( Digital perfourmer 4). Almost nobody use Mac OS X for pro audio ! Apple path is not possible for microsoft, beacause of their marketshare. They have basically the same problem than Intel with their x386 line : outdated, very difficult to enhance, for compatibility reasons. >>
You are right! I guess BT, Seal, U2, The Stones and all those other producers are lying about loving ProTools and Logic on OSX.
There is always going to be an aversion to change. I also know OS9 users who hated OSX... at first. Given a little time to adjust they can no longer concieve of going back to 9.
MS marketshare is exactly ehy they CAN make massive sweeping changes. They own the industry. If anyone can force change it should be them.
