    Apple Beats Expectations, LindowsOS Gets Major Overhaul!

    http://news.com.com/2100-1047_3-1026425.html

    Looks like something's catchin' on. . . It's about freakin' time! GO APPLE!!!

    NOTE: Despite a downturn in the stock market today, Apple shares were up $0.29 to $19.87 and was up to $20.15 in after-hours trading. Only a few months ago Apple stock was in the $12 range. Apple stock is starting to look good in a struggling economy. It was even mentioned on CNN.com today.



    http://www.msnbc.com/news/937066.asp

    LindowsOS 4.0 was recently released and is very much improved over its previous versions. Not to mention that Lindows.com, the maker of LindowsOS, has sold over 300,000 copies of LindowOS since it was released almost one year ago. That's pretty good considering that Lindows.com is still a startup. LindowsOS runs some Windows-compatible software on it (such as Office 2000), but there really is no need for it as many alternative products such as StarOffice and Lindows Office (based on StarOffice) will also run on it; these programs are very much like M$ Office and can open and save documents in Word, Excel, and Powerpoint formats. Also, WineX 3.1 (from Transgaming), which will run 250 Windows-compatible games on Linux, will soon be available for LindowsOS; in time no one will be able to say that Windows is the ONLY ideal platform to run PC games on). LindowsOS retails for only $49--a bargain compared to price of Windows!

    In the meantime, Lycoris, a new company that distributes the Lycoris OS (a product very much like LindowsOS), has recently entered the Desktop Linux Market. Lycoris Desktop/LX retails for only $29, but somewhat lacks the hardware and software support that LindowsOS 4.0 offers (I figure they're a new company; give them some time. ). This could be a very good thing because it means that there is direct competition against LindowsOS and that will drive up innovation and bring down prices even lower!

    Both LindowsOS and Lycoris are distributed on Microtel computers through Walmart.com. You can also get these operating systems through the Lindows.com and Lycoris.com websites or from a participating reseller.

    Things sure are looking good for Linux these days. WAY TO GO LINDOWS.COM AND LYCORIS FOR TWO AWESOME ALTERNATIVES TO MICRO$UCK$ WINBLOWS!!!







    You know I just love alternative operating systems to Windows. Anything that undermines the dominant evil Wintel world, well, I'm all for it! I do believe that PCs have there place in the market, though. They are for people who want cheap computers that get the job done, but of course, not without all the headaches. Of course, if you want a PC that's even cheaper than a Windows PC for a great value, get a PC with LindowsOS preinstalled! You won't regret it!



    NOTE: I am not looking forward to reading any of Asher's replies to this topic and I shall refuse to do so. I will not even reply to them, but I will reply to posts from others. As you may not already know, I recently put Asher on my ignore list for very good reasons. Also on my ignore list is Sava, for very good reasons as well. And thirdly, Fez is on my ignore list. For the sake of peace, I shall not comment any further on this publicly. No offense intended.

    HAVE A DAY.
    <--- Quote by Former U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt
    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28
    For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the call of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

    I'll stick with Windows XP, thank you very much. I love it so .

      Apple is still losing market share despite its rising stock market price.

      I am sticking with Windows 2000 PRO for the time being.

          Yet again, Apple is doomed. They've been doomed for 10 years now and they are still here.

          OK

          8.2% of Americans who surf the web do so using a Mac.

          23 percent of TV/Broadcast firms use Apple computers.

          More than 57% of web sites that ise video use Apple's QuickTime to deliver it.

          Over 18% of all software is sold for the Macintosh.

              Cite my good friend.

              Apple wasn't doomed ten years ago. They made some errors and have paid dearly for it. They have been steadily losing market share.

              57% of websites use video use Apples quicktime? I don't think so. Actually most use Realplayer/Realone.

                Who'd be dumb enough to take the bet?

                    Intel and Apple aren't competitors.

                      But way more people use computers now than used them 10 years ago - so in sheer numbers they are doing OK.

                      Look Apple competes in the education, home use and high end pro video/graphics markets, and that's it.

                      I personally don't think they'll ever get over 5% share, all we can hope for is that Linux destroys the Windows monopoly. Then computer users will be able to benefit from real competition.

                        Actually that is not true.

                        Look Apple competes in the education, home use and high end pro video/graphics markets, and that's it.
                        Yes they do. But how well? Their technology is antiquated right now. The failure to boost their CPUs in recent years have led to further market downfall.

                        I personally don't think they'll ever get over 5% share, all we can hope for is that Linux destroys the Windows monopoly. Then computer users will be able to benefit from real competition.
                        A communist talking about competition?

                          When do Mac users get to benefit from real competition?

                            While all of Agathons quotes are impressive....

                            1) I wish for Agathon to quite the WINTEL percentages for those, and then compare the two

                            2)

                              Actually that is the problem for Apple. There is no one company making PCs using Intel or AMD CPUs. That is a major problem for Apple.
