ROFLMAO. YOU retitled this thread. You are the one whining & droning.
Your diversion & spin is very amusing in a kinda 13 year old learning =
to
debate kind of way.
I was talking about the Mac :

There may be the odd thing.
I wonder if Mac will use the Linux NTFS stuff so it can read & write
NTFS partitions.
That would skew things coz MS won't put foreign fs abilities into =
XP/Vista."
Until you retitled the thread it was:
"Cringely's prediction #3"
Which was:
"3) But Apple WILL make some inroads against Microsoft. The new Intel =

the

generating
$300-plus million per year in sales.

Arguing with you it like shooting at a beached whale.
