Yes, I am back from 2 weeks of holiday in Austria and yes the only photo I have posted in my gallery so far is this one. As I know (by my spam to real email ratio) that not that many people care about me I shall not most the big juicy post I have lined up for my return, but more of a passing comment (given the late hour in the day).

I have been using solely my Powerbook for the last 2 weeks and one thing has occurred to me. Apple and almost every Mac user I have spoken to in the last few months is desperate to tell me that now Macs can run Windows too. I have yet however to see anything about people getting OSX to run under Windows or even on PC’s. Now perhaps it has been done, or perhaps I have missed these articles, but if either is the case then it is certainly being kept a big secret. So if OSX is such a great OS then why does no-one on a PC seem to want to make it work. Or to put it another way, if XP is so crap, why is everyone (including Apple) telling me I can now run it on their machines. There is no way on this earth that I would want to pay more and sacrifice so many options just so I could run Windows on Apple hardware, so why. And if OSX was so great then surly people would be desperate to make it work on PC’s so we could all have the benefits of OSX with PC cheap power and flexibility.

If I were being optimistic I would say it hasn’t been done because people recognise that the idea behind Apples kit is that it’s proprietary so it all works together. But to be realistic, I don’t think it has been done because no one thinks it’s that great an OS.

And my wasn’t that a garbled mess words…
