Acquisition

Sure, send some to me in a thermos via UPS Ground. G, are you lacking action in your life, or something? You keep bringing up porn. --------------------- Well, I got a new Tungsten E the other day... what a champ! What a beaut! It's got 32 MB of RAM, quadruple that of my old IIIxe (on which a number of the LCD pixels broke, prompting the acquisition of the new TE), an...

away from the artist. Stealing is just wrong. I admit, I did the Napster and Acquisition thing, like everyone else here,whether or not they care to admit it. But I've stopped, and just have music that I legally own. ...

What I found kind of funny is the maker of Acquisition, the beautifully made Gnutella client for the Mac, basically had to start a manhunt for people who where using his program to download its own pitrated registration key so they wouldn't have to pay $15 to avoid the little nag. While I wouldn't want to encourage this, it is rather telling how quick people are to bite...

Internet explorer works fine on the net but other programs (such as auto update, limewire, acquisition, itunes) dont recognise that im connected. i only recently installed os x and upgraded to 10.2.6.

time PC user who finally converted to a Mac. There are lots of great things about my new 17" iMac, but ease of software acquisition is not one of them. ...

I agree with you on this one! It would be a good move on Apple's part.:D

You are correct. I forgot the terms of the acquisition. I doubt then that MS will win this one. However, MS can make it impossible for FWB to include Windows, essentially killing SoftWindows. Probably just as well, because to be cost effective, RealPC will need to cost less than VirtualPC, and perform just as good, if not better...

The Register has speculated that the reasons for the acquisition would be to get products to serve as the basis of iLife for Windows. ...

Considering that software (that's ALL software, not just OSX) accounts for about 7% of Apple's revenue, I think that saying their hardware sales will take a hit but that is a good thing is way optimistic. A four fold increase in software sales wouldn't come close to matching a halving of hardware sales. Don't you think that Steve learned something with NeXT? Apple can...

cellfish, My first instinct, after reading your post, was to close this thread. But I decided not to because of Urbansory's response to your post. Why are you here? I mean, your welcomed here of course, but if you despise the macintosh platform so much, why is it that you're here? It also seems very apparent to me that you've never spent any amount of time on an OSX...
