[QUOTE="Team Hammer, post: 2627638, member: 572786"] Well I have, Being that I worked on MS OS's from DOS 3.0 to Windows XP. From what you just wrote, If I take a "Good Idea" like the Ford F40 and put the Engine in a Corvette it should work just as good. Problem with that is it was never "Designed" to work in a Corvette. Short cuts like this get you no where, But behind. MS has been behind for years. The copy or buy out approach is getting them further behind. The fact that Apple Is now using Intel Chips puts MS in a hard spot to wiggle out of. You can now run Windows/OSX on the same machine and not worry that your PC will lose Half its value in Six months. Apple Sales are up 40% for people moving from PC's to Mac's in that last Quarter. Thats a large chuck of New PC sales gone. The last time I looked, There are more people signing up to learn how to Use Macs then Windows. [/QUOTE]
