Sounds like my prediction of a $299 MacMini...
I highly, HIGHLY doubt that Apple's OS will be given up on by Apple. Why? Its a superior operating system compared to Windows. Windows Vista is going to be a pain in the neck from all the videos I have seen.
Interesting News from John C Dvorak, renowned Tech Writer for PC Mag. He writes that Apple may be moving to ditch it's OS for Windows. No matter how improbable this seems to me, they make a good point when they remind us that we all laughed when we heard Apple would partner with Intel. He writes that Yakov Epstein, professor of psychology at Rutgers University, made four observations: "The first was that the Apple Switch ad campaign was over, and nobody switched. The second was that the iPod lost its FireWire connector because the PC world was the new target audience. Also, although the iPod was designed to get people to move to the Mac, this didn't happen. And, of course, that Apple had switched to the Intel microprocessor." These are really valid points. But I just cannot see this happening. What is your take? Is this conceivable?
