Microsoft love the OS X Dock.

Folding@Home on Windows can use the GPU to process data so its really up to the developer.

That's an nVidia technology (CUDA™ C-programming technology). Not Microsoft or Windows technologies.

Right. I think it was IRIX that was first to support 64-bit processing.

Since IRIX is a 'UNIX', it is in reality a forefather to NeXTSTEP and OSX. So technically... ;)

Well, IRIX is an operating system based on Unix, it's not "a Unix." And Linux is actually "Unix-like." There's a difference between Unix and Unix-like. IRIX was released before NeXTstep (1988 vs. 1989), but the two are largely unrelated, as they only share the Unix kernel in common. I wouldn't really say that IRIX is a forefather to Mac OS X in any way. But your definition may vary.

No, they stole the idea from Microsoft! How convenient that they're suddenly bringing out a 64-bit OS now that 64-bit Windows is gaining momentum and even Adobe has ported their flagship products to it!

Apple stole the idea of having a 64-bit OS from Microsoft? :blink: Go now. Lie down. Have some rest, you may be delirious.

Actually. I use both. 1 iMac (second coming soon) and 2 PC's here.

What's your point? A lot of switchers still use both.

But I guess its fun to post 'facts' when you really don't know them.

Ironic.

I think he's being sarcastic, not factual. I think most people here are plenty knowledgeable and now that neither Apple nor Microosft "invented" the 64-bit kernel, both are merely taking advantage of it.

So what point were you trying to make? I couldn't quite figure out your reasoning.

That's how it starts. It's a slow rot but it's there. In time, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft shifts even more American jobs overseas.

Let me get this straight, Apple outsources ALL manufacturing to China using slave labor. = Good

Microsoft uses Designers and Engineers from around the world to develop software for a global market = Bad

You really are stupid

:rolleyes:

I agree with that. A technology was made available to software companies and they took advantage of it. /end

[duritz]

dude, who cares? it raises the competition standards no matter what. if microsoft makes a dock look-a-like, apple will work just that much harder to make something cooler and revolutionary. it is better for both worlds.

:rolleyes:

And you're a spammer who has no idea and spouts insane rubbish. But live and let live I guess.

Everything made in China = Slave labor?

Have a look where your precious PC motherboard / processor / ram / case / psu even your Microsoft mouse and keyboard are made? Idiot.

And actually, Quanta manufactures MacBooks and iMac computers under contract for Apple. So if you want, take it up with them.

My PC was made In China, I never said It was not made In China, but my PC was NOT made In one of Apples sweetshops.

And stop sending me PM's stupid.

No the parts for your computer were made in one of China's sweatshops. Now go and play in traffic.

[Kyang]

You're both actually on the same page. Why are you arguing?

[giga Veteran]

enough.
