OSX is so streamlined compared to other operating systems, especially Windows XP. XP is so bloated i cant stand to use it. I am running an iBook G3 on 700MHz, with and it runs more than 2x faster than my PC that runs at 2GHz. That makes Windows completely inferior to OSX. I can only imagine what OSX runs like on a mac with an intel dual core processor. i dont know about what dull simple tasks they were talking about but all i know is the only thing i would trust a PC doing is something dull and simple because from my own experience the new apples are much more stable. i highly doubt that Jobs had anything to do with that commercial. and personally, the first thing i thought when i saw that commercial was…Oooooh…burn! but you know what, i am proud of Apple for that. its about time.

For those who are serious computer users, Mac is the Lamborghini of computers, and so far has a niche-- a niche for serious users, just like the Lamborghini has a niche for serious drivers.

Texas Manditory... Pah... Even worse you slapped it in capital letters just to make the point even clearer (and worse) Ahh well, I guess a football oriented institution can't expect to get the pick of the crop where actual students who're going to graduate are concerned... Doesn't this make you proud of all the top NCAA schools??? With the exception perhaps of Penn State and certainly Notre Dame.

Please, the big difference is the OS … the work, the tasks, are essentially the same (except I can’t currently play as many games on the MacOS). is there anything more that can be said here? not to mention how many movies with heavy CGI duty going into production are rendered on AMD chips in linux clusters. i seriously don't think that will be changing any time soon either with intel's crippled bus architecture having no upgrade on the roadmap. this commercial was not about microsoft, yet that is what they were implying when they refered to "dull tasks". i don't know who really thought this was a clever ad, but it seems it would have been more relivant to have big bird and grover talking about finally getting a market share of "chipzilla" (since mac does all their educational deals... at the University of Texas it is MANDITORY for all education majors to own a mac laptop of some kind). from what “we” say:

It is an advertisement, nothing more, even if it is an accurate assessment of the market. Who cares what Intel or the “competition” think.

With so many Mac users with G3 systems and G4 systems, the G5 didn't sell in the numbers necessary for developers to even bother to write G5 optimized code for most of their software. Altivec is great, but aside from the people that code Mathematica, it's just too much effort for such a small number of systems. The G5 Quad is going to be the most underutilised system ever made by Apple.

The G5s are not that great “Jobs said that the MacBook Pro is up to four times as fast as previous Mac laptops, with the new iMacs running two to three times faster than the IBM-powered iMac G5.”
