I just wanna see what everyones opinion is.

Apple has been defeated by Microsoft, but can Linux , and the open source community do it?
If yes How long do you think itll take?

DukePuke:
I dunno actual information, but i know fact, that simple user count who uses linux for their personal desktops increases. Actualy I am one of these, but btw i still cant get rid windoze in my second comp.. I just too familiar with office programs, and I dont know how I would write laboratory work with KEdit

ecsyle_one:

WMD:
^ Agreed.  Both Linux and Mac together can beat Microsoft.

Apple is kinda out for the count, i am in no way a mac hater. in fact im typing this on my powerbook pismo.

Apples Chances of catching up are slim, the only chance i can see is if they release an x86 version of Os X (which could be a good idea i suppose. I wish they would so i dont have to have windows anymore.

But this thread isnt about apple its abut linux and open source

if Apple released OSX for x86 it would seriously hurt them more than it would help.

you don't buy a Mac for the OS, or the processor or the hardware.

What makes a Mac, a Mac?

Everything.

It is the way Apple wraps the Hardware AND Software into one very complete package that Makes it a Mac.

if Apple released OSX for x86 you would just be another STEP for x86, only slightly prettier.
