Apple updates Rendezvous for Windows, Linux

Wouldn't it be funny if: Apple become the number one software writer for Microsoft
while Microsoft is the number one software writer for Apple? Is
that where all this is going?

Now Apple just has to make stuff MS users pay for. That would
be quite interesting.

I can see that Apple is doing this to make some apps for
Windows more functional and improve its reputation amongst
Windows users, as well as Linux users.

I wonder if porting 'ease of use' to Windows will begin to turn
the head of enterprise IT buyers and make them more Mac
friendly? Rendezvous is great stuff but I don't know that it's
better than UPnP.

Seems like a shrewd move to me: win Windows users over, win
open-source friends, grow market share.; Posted by: mlindl Posted on: 06/30/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
