I was going to ask why you didn't post this in
LizCam Productions (because it would have been perfect after my last post there), but I just realized that you actually replied to my post already. My bad.
Anyway, I'm amazed that this Aqua-copying is going on. It is major flattery (i.e. to Apple, not to me) and, if you ask me, further "proof" of Mac OS' superiority.
Except . . . why not just buy a stinkin' Mac, for cryin' out loud?!! When I consider the fact that PCs are still being used instead of Macs, I can't help but think of this as a kind of insult (to Apple) as well.
The excuse given by the article is totally lame: "Wardell said the best way to support Apple, of course, is to get a Mac, but a lot of his customers are in a youthful age bracket, and feel they can't yet afford a Mac, given Apple's reputation for charging premium prices." I know that Macs were at one point overpriced—which is one of the major reasons that Microsoft now owns the world—but my understanding is that this problem ceased many years ago. Am I wrong? I'll admit that I haven't done a price comparison lately (or ever), but I don't imagine that Apple is so stupid that they'd fall back into their old mistake of being ("reasonably") arrogant with prices.
In any case, thanks for sharing that, Lizard. It's certainly interesting. Feel free to ignore my banter and opinions; they mean something (but far from everything) to me, but that doesn't mean you need to pay them any heed if you don't want to.
P.S. I apologize for my overuse of parentheses. They just sorta weeded their way into this post.
