Gates disses Apple. <<Gates said he was pleased that the media were getting excited about computer operating systems. And then he took his jab at Apple, whose share of the consumer market is nearly 4 percent. "You can always tell if you're working on a Mac or a PC. Just take your applications and stick them in there and see if they run," he said, moments after calling Apple "the super-small market share guy.">>

<<do any of these companies test their crap on a new soon to be released OS? Tiger's been around for more than 6 months and I doubt that if they were testing, they would've been caught with their pants down. I don't see them complaining when Microsoft releases a new OS or security patch or service pack that breaks many apps.>>Orion You have to wonder about this. Is it related to the fact that this is expected when you have a windows release but not something that happens when you have an OSX release? Is it just laziness or is it something more nefarious like MSFT having something to do with this, especially with all the noise that Mr. Gates is making lately? My guess is that it is human nature to see what happens in the final release and see if apple will have the problem fixed before going out and doing something about it and then blaming apple when customers call up and complain about it.
