How much FUD is this article full of? First, Michael Robertson of Linspire accuses Apple of making a mistake by not releasing OS X for every PC. Yea, that’s it, a mistake for a **hardware** company to not release it’s operating system for other manufacturer’s hardware… Moron! Second he goes on to embrace Job’s statement that IBM’s chip roadmap was not going to meet apple’s requirements. Those of us with half a brain can deduce from the recent chip releases from IBM and the obvious architecture advantage of PPC 64-bit compared to the non true 64-bit pentium 4 chips that the move to intel is only to get the obvious price breaks that the only other large profitable pc manufacturer (DELL) gets.

This was another great quote from Mr. Robertson. As if this was any different from any other computer purchase. Especially during this time of 64-bit conversion. While the apple camp has made a relatively painless switch to 64-bit the windows camp has yet to make it, and the linux camp nowhere near as smooth an experience as OS X.

While Linspire is just another OK linux distro, Apple seems to have quadrupled it’s value in the last few years with it’s strategy. So I’m sure Michael Robertson of Linspire should be criticizing Apple’s newest move.

Enough with my rant of this obvious ignorance and narrow minded view. I’m going to do something enjoyable.
