Mac users of the world...unite and take over


The end is near. This week Apple introduced Boot Camp, a program that will allow new Macs with the Intel chip to run in either Apple OSX or Windows XP. With this, I think Apple is poised to begin their takeover of the home computer market. Why? Macs have always been more user friendly, but because of a lack of software developers (Macs only had 1 or 2 percent of the home computer market share) Windows-based computers have dominated the marked. While Windows had software giants in their corner, making games, word processing programs and business applications, Mac concentraited on things real people use their home computers for ... surfing the Internet, watching movies, listening to music, and sharing pictures ... and creating software to bring out the artist and musician in everyone ... specifically iLife. Things began to shift when Apple introduced the iPod and iTunes (two of the greatest inventions known to man). Windows music software on the other hand left something to be desired. Now that Macs can run Windows, oh boy! It's like peanut butter and chocolate baby. Two great tastes that taste great together!
