@ security
OS X security is mostly false security however having BSD as a core does help to an extent.
In my above rant, I was trying to get at the fact that Windows cost the world a whole lot'ta money everyday that most people write off as operating hazards, ie, viruses, stolen data, malware, and various other hacking activities.
@ devices
Driver downloads? I've been amazed that many items I have bought have actually to some extent have been recognized without drivers for OSX. However, OSX still has a problem with esoteric hardware.
@ hyped expectations
I was thinking of the M$ courier, I really wanted to give it a go
ipad???? Apple didn't hype the device, everybody else in the world did that for them
@ Palm / HP
Why does HP need the IP? The fend off Apple and their attack on Android sellers?
I'm still wondering why Apple didn't just buy out Palm .... monopoly issues? hate issues? redundancy issues?
