Same here...

Minnie can't even turn on a Mac computer, nor delete a file in MacOS.  

I haven't even seen a Mac...most probably had but they look all the same to me.....like...cars....

I have always been using Windows and never had any problem (that I could not solve ) so will stick to Windows. But, the computer I got here does not speak English and I switched to Linux. I still have Windows though as WinMDI does not function well with Wine.(nor sake) It will be hard for me to downgrade to Mac any time in future.

I still support Microsoft as some part of the money I might spend (or I encourage others to spend   ) goes here I suppose - affects lives of millions.

Hm, the old and the contemporary windows looks different...

I have two mac laptops - one running Tiger the other running leopard (which is excellent & has mouse pad gestures).  Both have vmware on - vmware has XP and linux installed under it so I have access to both of those.  My desktop pc is dual boot - running XP and linux (I change between fedora/ubuntu/gentoo/suse).

after watching the futuristic video posted by BB i've been wondering how many people will be able to use that technology, and i don't mean by the access to these devices but by just looking around i have seen lots of people frustrated by using the 'mighty mouse' by apple, i can't imagine those people using only touch screens

another video i found interesting, and closer to reality, by Davind Merril at MIT: the siftables

It the foundation of the Palm Pre - for Geeks it very very interesting - a possible iPhone killer (I had to type that)

ok then....I am all for competition and anything that can possibly kill off iPhone would make me happy too . However, it can't have more features than iPhone which can practically do everything even your taxes... so what's the catch? It can't be free....

it's not (as far as i know)

[DELETEMYACCOUNTPLEASE]

It is more feature rich than the iphone - for a start it has copy and paste as well as running multiple apps running at once.  Oh and the dev kit is going to give developers full hooks into the system.
