If you have a company, you want it to succeed. While Jobs switched Apple for Next, MS kept growing strong. Criticize their politics as much as you'd like, but if we have nice graphics environments it's mostly because of windows 3.x, even if it wasn't the first graphics environment out there nor the best.The three fundmental critics i can do about Apple are about the typical mac buyer, the company not caring about buyers and the sometimes ridiculously high of any hardware. For f***sake even if I want to change a battery I have to go to an apple store and leave the computer there?In an ideal world I would have my toshiba with MacOS/Windows/Linux...
About a year ago or a little more there were a bunch of predictions of the mini's imminent demise. then Apple without much fanfare upgraded it to Core 2 Duo. No idea what their plans are for it in the long term, but the people who were predicting Apple would drop it back then turned out not to have much of an idea either. I recently bought one to use primarily for development, the base model, 1.83 GHz/ 1 GB. Sweet little machine. I sort of think they'll keep it around, as it fills a spot in the lineup for people who don't want the all-in-one, and Apple apparently has no interest in a moderately priced conventional tower. Also, in Apple's push for developers for the mobile platform, it makes sense to have a low-cost machine that satisfies the requirements.

That's just to throw people off, they have bigger plans.

ERROR ERRORTranslate "Core-Mono" into "Core-Solo". Apologies.(A friend is suffering from mononucleosis, so it's on my mind).

I certainly hope not as I would like to pick one up for the wife but I'd never pick one up that's tied to the display (hence wanting the Mini).
