In the future, maybe Apple will get together, and finally will release completely open and accessible to all PC-computers MacOS X 10.6, can you imagine?
And you think Steve Jobs can calm down and retire. No, Steve Jobs is a very tough rebel and a vengeful person (
see the book “iCon. Steve Jobs” ), and he will not rest until he bury Microsoft! Either Steve or Billy, it's been obvious for a long time (the film “To Kill Bill” is most likely shot with Steve's money :)). Just so far, he waited, before the last and decisive battle!
And why did Steve Jobs make this great transitional period from 2005-2007, when MacOS X was not produced for everyone, but only for Mac-Intel `s?
Just for that:
one). To wait until the end of the 10-year peace treaty with Microsoft, which was signed between Apple and Microsoft in 1997.
That's all: 10 years obliging Apple not to get into the patrimony of Microsoft ʻa passed! Tremble, fat MS-Hryuk, it's time to slaughter!
2). Whatever the time, do not frighten Microsoft and let it release the latest work of its anti-advertising company - MS Windows Vista;
3). What would all the iron offices finally write firewood for Apple MacOS X (almost all of them are actively writing, and for all external devices the driver has been around for a long time);
four). What would Soft for MacOS smoothly move to Intel-based!
Apple, Adobe, Quark, Corel, Autodesk, etc. almost all of its popular Soft have already been transferred to MacOS X for Intel (see the list of more than
7501 Universal (Intel-based) Applications for Macintosh )
Plus, again, this activity of Apple in the field of Web 2.0-based applications, the development of which is actively promoted and financed by Apple. As an example of Web 2.0-apps propaganda, this is Apple’s decision until the usual SDK for iPhone release. And the result of this decision:
Apple has already received more than 200 Web apps that do not work on the iPhone, but in the usual Apple Safari. This is all done on purpose to loosen the monopoly of Microsoft, because Web2.0-Soft is not tied to MS Windows.
Times change! It's time for Apple MacOS X for Intel & Web 2.0 Apps;)
