Link According to that, it's way more than 66. Apple has a lot of ways to become more popular. They could release their OS for use on non-Apple computers. They could release their other software to work on other OS's. But that's not the way Apple operates. I guess I should have said Apple wants to be a

One thing I don't like seeing are the obvious Photoshop gradients. Or any obvious Photoshopping for that matter. I go for the simple skins. Usually black, white or a shade of gray, with good contrast between text and background. The Frank Lloyd Wright saying of 'form follows function' should always be applied.

Doesn't matter what happened in the first year. Sony is going to lose a lot of money on the PS3. If either company thought that their consoles, or any product for that matter, wouldn't add to profits, they wouldn't put it out. It may take one or two years, but the Xbox has brought money into MS, just as the PS3 eventually will.

Apple, Dell, HP, etc. take hardware (processors, memory, mboards) made by other companies and stuff them into their own boxes. Not to mention the iPod, which certainly can't be overlooked seeing as how it makes up such a significant portion Apple's revenue. Microsoft also takes hardware and puts it in their own boxes, but rather than doing it with PCs, they've done it with gaming consoles. Microsoft and Apple make operating syste

My type teacher makes us write in typefaces. I've gotten good at Bodoni, Helvetica, Franklin Gothic and Futura (The only typefaces worth using ) It's good to be able to quickly draw something out for a client, than to bring a computer around and fiddle with it. Anyone can keyboard out some type. I prefer to do work on paper, and then use the computer to give

Microsoft made a special version for the EU because they were forced to. It would be great if we could get a version with out the anti-spyware, firewall, media player, IE, older soft/hardware support, etc. not installed, but that's likely not going to happen. They were basically forced to develop all the 'extras' by people who didn't want to, or couldn't find them on their own, so now we have to deal with it. Windows Barebones sounds good to me, and ma

I was really skeptical of Vista when the first information came out. I thought it was just XP with a new look. But there have been some articles and links on WC, and a few others, and it looks like Vista will have so much more to offer than a new GUI. The GUI is the least of what impresses me. You can turn off most of the 'unnecessary' things. I read that a guy got his used memory down to 45MB by optimizing everything. But as I sa

I think it's a good thing Vista has high hardware requirements. I don't want something brand new to be run on hardware that's 3 or 4 years old. Stinks for people who have computers that can't support it, but I don't think Microsoft should water Vista down to appease them. Vista should take advantage of what's available now, and what will be available. Not what was available. <img src="http://images3.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.g

The only time I emailed them was a feature request for ObjectDock. (I asked if they could put in a drag-to-launch feature) They emailed me back a couple days later and said it was an interesting idea and they'll look into it. I don't know if they were just humoring me, but I had no problems. I think one of the interesting things about Stardock are the support AND the forums here. I think it's usually a good idea to post your probl

By the way, it's $17 for full, or $10 for just the toolbar after the trial. I used the trial, but I don't think it's worth buying. Windowblinds is $20, so $10 for a toolbar seems kind of steep by comparison.
