The story of how a BeOS refugee (and not just everyone, but the author of the 'BeOS Bible' book) lost faith in the future of computing, resigned himself to Windows but found himself bored silly, tore out half his hair at the helm of a Linux box, then rediscovered the joy of computing in MacOSX. Scot Hacker will describe his personal adventures with today's operating systems after he was set out to find an alternative to his beloved (but with no apparent future) BeOS. Update: Make sure you read the second part of the article, a rebutal, found here.

For the record, MS bought 500K shares of non voting stock back then, hardly bailing out the company. And for that, as noted in this article, meaning, when you need Office you need Office, we received full support in the way of Office 98 for the Mac, a necessity for the Mac OS to survive (sadly) and helped with MS and the DOJ. Funny thing is, those shares more than doubled in value with the advent of the iMac and then split, yet another wise business move by MS! Apple has 5 Bill. in the bank, I don't see them going under for a few weeks now
too bad about 3rd world costs, hopefully things will change, but you can attest to the author's article and a commentor that PC hardware can and will be a total nightmare, and some of us are more concerned with output then tinker/tweaker hyper geek!
