Hello Tom - 

TW>>> Neither is anywhere near the reality of a GOOD operating
TW>>> system. 

WC>> And MickeySoft is? 

TW> NO, But at least it is Practical for the Masses. The NEW
TW> Apple OS is FAR better and has many possabilities but the
TW> Software selection is somewhat lacking. Basicly the "NIX"
TW> selections lack a reat deal compaired to what the Windows
TW> World offers. 

If/when people decide to pay for third-party Linux software
much of what is now Windows software will be ported to Linux. 

TW> Open Office is an excellent example. It is a Second best
TW> decidedly when compaired to Win Office Suite. In fact Jean
TW> Parrot sent me a program with a MS word Doc it could not
TW> Handle. 

The ".doc" file is a poor choice as a 'test' of compatibility.
Windows versions over the years have been incapable of reading
".doc" files created by previous versions of Windows. When
Microsoft can't read their own file format who can be faulted
for having the same problem? 

TW> The new apple OS could ported over, if it already hasn't
TW> been done, to the x86 CPU. One would still have some lack
TW> of Software though. I don't concider Software Emulation as
TW> an answer to the software problem. 

If the next new version of Windows is complete with it's new
hard drive file format etc. and exaggerated hardware
requirements that may be a good time to consider moving to
Apple. :-)
