Peer Pressure \ufffd Why DRM Will Help Apple Beat Microsoft - March 5, 2007 @ 6:08 am

[\ufffd] There are plenty of other reasons to anticipate an uptick in the Mac\ufffds fortunes. The switch to Vista in general is an opportunity to take a step back and consider other options, particularly considering all the problems people are encountering. Moreover, the Apple brand is getting a huge boost from its success in the consumer electronics space, combined with a practical advantage since its phenomenally popular gizmos work best with its own computers. [\ufffd]

Yeah.. I wonder how the IQ-tets for new hires differ - twixt Cupertino and Redmond.
I guess it's a bit early to see stats on Vista rootkit installs VS eXtra Pain levels..

let's consider a world where Vista was not only a flop, it was a total crash and burn

Love. It.

Anticipating seeing whatever Feisty Fawn turns out to be.. now.. if only it will also detect the guts of a '04 vintage hP laptop, without choking on GRUB, right off the bat. Like most of the other distros.

Post #277,731 by Nightowl 3/8/07 2:08:12 PM Reply	er... a feisty fawn... meaning a little deer frolicking... in a lush green meadow. No nothing sexy. Just doesn't seem very... well, manly... I guess. And even for us women, it's more along the lines of Bambi than I feel comfortable with. I like Suse the lizard and Firefox the fox, and even the Tiger those have class and power. What on earth does a fawn do besides frolick in the meadow? All a matter of opinion, I guess.

And I view it as versatile (changeable), etc because of the chameleon. But I can't picture anything symbolized by the feisty fawn.

Post #277,742 by pwhysall 3/8/07 2:49:15 PM Reply	It doesn't symbolise anything. Ubuntu is the name of the product, 7.04 is the version. All the symbolism is in the product name - and yes, there's plenty. The versions have whimsical animal names. Even OS X has no particular Tiger-ishness in 10.4; it's not as if tigers are particularly renowned for having system-wide instant search facilities. By that same measure, I'm also not aware of any inbuilt backup facilities sported by panthera pardus. I don't think they have to-do lists in their email clients, either.
