Heh. For the same reasion I might. Because a well integrated, easy to use

make a good point though. But this is dangerously close to comp.os.*.advocacy,
so we should probably take this discussion to private e-mail.
geeks will run Linux or BeOS on PCs because the
platform will continue to be
less expensive, but the real consumer and small business worlds will be owned
by Macintosh. Between Macos X for servers and Macos 8.whatever for desktop
clients, IMHO if apple plays their cards right they can own those two VERY
lucrative markets.
Real geeks will not be switching back to dependence on closed source.
