ehomeupgrade.com— Rumors are floating around about significant Apple OS X updates that could possibly blow the doors off of Windows Vista in the near future. As with all rumors take it with a grain of salt.

I'm with you. I never go into these types of stories expecting that everything is going to be accurate (or even close), but it's fun to think about things like this. It brings different ideas to mind.Some people read fictional novels. I read fictional Apple news reports :)
"I paid $100 for XP over 3 years ago and Linux costs nothing. Why you people give Apple $130 every year for MacOS X 10.x is beyond me."And what significant upgrades has Microsoft put out for XP since it was released? SP1 and SP2 were both primarily bug fix / security patch updates, with few noteworthy new features. Has Microsoft worked to make XP faster? No. Have they added significant new value or productivity to XP? No. Am I a Mac fanboy? No. I don't even own a Mac. But I can certainly see the value in Apple's OS upgrades. With Apple, bug fixes and security patches are also free downloads, but significant new features or enhancements are charged for when they've accumulated enough of them to make a worthy new product. What's wrong with that? I'd gladly pay for a new OS from Microsoft every year if they actually added anything of real value to it.

Even with my 2 GB or DDR on my iMac G5, the computer still allocates an additional 4.68 GB....thus using nearly 7 GB of RAM<a class="user" href="http://gxcdesign.com/neat/ram.jpg">http://gxcdesign.com/neat/ram.jpg</a>

Not a very good one, most of the "features" are just plain boring.
