Star Apple Expo: Steve Jobs Talks Macintosh
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 20th Sep 2005 11:59 UTC
Apple Apple CEO Steve Jobs and the company's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller have just ended a frank and open discussion with European media. Jobs said: "We don't know how having OS X available for PCs would affect Macs", and promised, "we will have technology in OS X for Intel so that it cannot be installed in other PCs". Jobs also confirmed Apple's switch to Intel processors remains on schedule, saying: "We said we'd be shipping by next June and we are on track to have that be a true statement".

win2000 is the most stable, hardly ever crashing... but the same machines always crash with XP and ME...
...and what do you think that indicates? windows2k is more tolerant of bad hardware/drivers. myth my ass

nice spin. it means that XP is not as stable is what it means.

the point he was making was this....

2k is far more stable on the SAME HARDWARE as other versions of windows. so yes, it is more tolerant...

but the myth was that WHITE-BOX x86 machines are all too unstable

it is not the hardware, it is the OS

BTW - I have had more lock-ups with OSx Tiger than I have had with windows XP.

it is most likely your memory.

OS X is not tolerant of cheepo memory. so if you get poor quality stuff (some times you get unlucky with the cheepo stuff) then OS X will have problems. My windows 98 box crashed 5 times a day because of bad memory.

if you're happy to deal with corrupt memory/audio/video because the os will tolerate it, go ahead, be my guest. I'd rather be aware my shit was dodgy and go about fixing it.

you're running a goddamn beta on different hardware than was intended and comparing it to xp? thats a laugh
