Comments on: Why Invest in Apple http://www.ilapko.com/2005/10/22/investing-in-apple/ The blog of a 19 year-old HKUST business student Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:32:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Illya http://www.ilapko.com/2005/10/22/investing-in-apple/comment-page-1/#comment-1001 Illya Sat, 29 Oct 2005 08:57:31 +0000 http://www.illya.sizzly.com/2005/10/22/investing-in-apple/#comment-1001 The only reason people will be buying Vista is because they are used to Windows and what, like 90% of the world's computers run Windows and won't be able to run Mac OS X with their current hardware. I still believe Microsoft will make <em>a lot</em> of money from their operating system, software and gaming consoles. I think I was focusing on how people are starting to leave the Windows world because of viruses, annoyances and stuff like that. Apple computers have their own set of problems and I acknowledge that. I still believe it would be wise to invest in Apple as their switch to Intel processors will allow people to run Windows apps no problem. But as of now, it's still a Windows world and I am writing this on Windows XP because I have no money for a Mac :( The only reason people will be buying Vista is because they are used to Windows and what, like 90% of the world’s computers run Windows and won’t be able to run Mac OS X with their current hardware.

I think Windows Vista looks better than any other windows OS out right now. Except for my tweak xp lol. I love the Royal theme. Anyway back to my point. I do believe that MS will hurt Apple when vista comes out and you are overlooking something else. MicroSoft release its X-Box 360 this novemeber. So Apple might have the iPod and all that but this is a whole gaming console that looks amazing from what i saw. If anything , MS will still top apple no offense. Hell, I'd love a G5 for myself but i don't have the money. I don’t entirley agree with you. I think Windows Vista looks better than any other windows OS out right now. Except for my tweak xp lol.
