That editorial is bizarre

How can an author equate Apple to the Black Culture? This is a bad anaology at best. This author's comment lacks total technical insight to Apple's decline. He mentions that Apple's problem is lack of marketing. Everyone knows that. Their advertising sucks and lacks any focus or message.

The author's lack of knowledge on Apple's OS failure and other OS's success sure is evident. He says Apple is one of the most easiest machines to use. Not anymore. Has this guy every used windows 95?? I troublshoot both Mac's and PC's. Mac's obvious problems are:

1. Lack of protected memory - any application can bring the whole system down.

2. No pre-emptive multitasking - only co-operative which reduces the worker's efficiency.

3. OUtdated networking aspects - NT and even Windows 95 blows them out of the water on this one.

4. Bloated extensions and control panels that causes a myriad of crashes.

IF you apple supporters cannot admit to this. (yes I know Rhapsody is suppose to fix all these deficiencies), then you're doing a big disservice to Apple by not voicing these concerns.

All that time spent on Copland and the only big feature is the multi-threaded Finder. I think they cheated Mac Users by not including protected memory which they promised but could not deliver.

If they do deliver Rhapsody on time, where will the market be? Will people be willing to pay $$$ more $$$ to Apple for their hardware or will clones help to expand the OS base. This is what Apple and some anti-cloners do not understand. If you don't have a viable user base, what is the point in developing the OS???
