Mac os missing from boot camp4/15/2024 ![]() ![]() Darnit.īUT, I have to step back and say that in the long run (2 yearsish) this will be damaging to Microsoft and will mean even more money for Apple and even more of a market share too. Apple basically just ensured and additional $300 - 500 million for Microsoft - and that's this year alone. This will just serve to make Microsoft more money. And it is obviously good for their stock performance.īut now back to the negative. It is obvious however, that the introduction of Boot Camp will drive market share up and make more money for Apple. ![]() I'm sick of compromises and being held back just to drag some Windows users along. Hell, I know some Windows users that don't even know what the Control key or Alt key do. This is another reason the keyboard hotkeys, functioning in conjuction with those cursor clicks, will obviously come in more handy than a 2 button mouse. You are not going to be able to easily pull out (and in some locations, it will just be impossible) and plug in a mouse ? be it a 1-button OR 2-button mouse. Talk about inconsistency - 'course, it is coming from the Windows world. ![]() Then consider the move to a laptop machine which is so prevalent in todays world. Lets say we all used Microsofts way of incorporating the mouse on the desktop. I can easily hit that command key or option key or control key or shift key or escape or whatever to become more efficient and have access to more options than you ever could with a 2-button (or 3 or 4-button) mouse. I work with one hand on the keyboard, and one hand on the mouse. This is so stupid.Īnd then the whole issue of Apple introducing the multi-button mouse. And connected with that (in an effort to use iTunes as a Trojan Horse) are other issues of parallel design, like Mac users being forced into ridculous syncing methodologies just so Windows users can have access to the same phone/pda syncing capabilities (via iTunes). Then there are the application design compromises that we see in iTunes and others. We all know that the firewire chip would have been cheaper and smaller to integrate anyway.ĭamn Microsoft and their refusal to cater to firewire! That is the most ridiculous compromise I have ever seen. One of the more visible ones is the Firewire issue of course. Not a great long laundry list of compromises but a substantial list for sure. They chose their path, let them walk it.Įvery since Apple started catering to the Windows users, we have seen nothing but compromises. I personally want Windows users to stay where they are. I'm not sure I like it either but for a different reason than people here I think. ![]()
