It is just the same case as to when microwaves appeared on the market, and people killed their cats just to sue the manufacturer and get tons of money.

Apple is telling you that they know their limitations. Nice try though. Heh. Initiating FUD?

+1 for Migs. Apple is telling you that they know their limitations.

Nice try though. Heh.

They out found that their workers would switch over to Windows to socialize. So now, they've officially made Windows the government's official OS. In addition, they began cracking down on piracy when Gates made an offer they couldn't refuse: $7 per copy w/ revenue sharing, access to the source code.

Imagine a nuclear submarine running Windows, even if its Vista and the BSoD makes an appearance. It's a Tom Clancy novel instantly turned into a nighmarish reality.

Imagine if Nasa computers were to run on Windows XP and suddenly decides to BSOD during the launch countdown of one of it's space shuttles (bad example but you get the idea). Operations that are really critical like Air Traffic Control systems have their OS's built from the ground up (and no, this does not mean they have to reinvent the wheel) Miguel is right.
