Funny that after years and years Apple has finally decided it might be a good idea to make their software work on Windows.
I'd love to see a Windows version of Final Cut

I'm a Mac user and I stopped using Safari for the most part because it didn't work with many web sites that I used (mostly forum sites) I've been using Firefox and I really like it. They will have to make some improvements to get me back.

SEAMONKEY!
I would love to see Apples OS run on a Windows machine, if it ran like it does on Apples new Intel computers I would buy it in a heart beat though I would have to keep Vista and/or XP for games and HiDef/.mkv content.
I just really want to make my own icons and why M$/Gates has never made this possible is beyond me.

Finally some sophistication brought to the PC world.
I regret the day my wife talked me into buying a PC, instead of a Mac. Oh well, we do what we have to do.

I was going to post something mean like, Apple's clunkiest software now runs on the world's clunkiest OS, but thought I should download Safari 3 first. Version 2 runs noticable slower than Firefox.

Of course Apple has to make things work on PCs, to cover for the fact that a lot of software is simply not available for Mac, in spite of their ads that continually promote one or two things they do. What if you want to do one or THREE other things? Most new software has a little note that says, soon to be available for Apple computers. That's when Steve Jobs made Apple able to run PC stuff. Embarrassed? I guess.

"idiot company " Thats a big statement, I built my own windows machine and if your talking about Dell than I would agree but the companies that make the motherboards, vid cards and the rest of the parts also make Apples parts so who is the idiot here ? Apples the one boasting that their computers run Windows as a selling point.
