I've played with the mac interface for a bit this past week. I am scratching my head asking myself what the big deal is. It looks like a fancy version of CDE that you could load on Solaris 5.x back in the 1990's. The OS is based on UNIX/FreeBSD. What kind of innovation is that? Apple has a great marketing machine, no doubt. However most of their "innovations" are/were invented elsewhere and they get can people to pay top dollar.

I guess the thing that rubs me the wrong way the most about apple is the smugness that comes out in the ads and the nievity of many mac folks where they think nothing bad will happen if they run a mac. As more macs are sold, the more hacks that will be made available as there is a larger pool to attack. Apple may be gaing share in the realm of personal computing, however Windows still greatly outsells macs.
