You'd make a great Republican...

Such a convenient rewriting of history makes you a perfect candidate for a Republican presidency. The fact is Apple came before Windows. It's also a fact that Windows was based on 10-year old Apple technology. Not many people know, much less acknowledge that little tidbit. Why do you think Microsoft helped out Apple a few years ago? Altruism?? You would be stupid to think that. As anyone with any understanding would tell you, you need competition to survive in a capitalistic society. Which is why the courts "allowed" Windows. It's competition. Without which there would've been a monopoly in Apple's hands. Remember, Apple came first. As far as Quicktime is concerned, it's a superior medium to Windows Media. Anyone, like myself, who works in the FX film industry would tell you that they'd rather work with Quicktime files then Windows Media any day. I'm moving back to Mac myself. I'm kind of glad it doesn't have a huge market share. If it did, people would be writing viruses for it, left and right. Sadly, 14-yr old hackers have nothing better to do with their social ineptitude then disturb the lives of others with viruses. One day they might actually make hacking a crime instead of rewarding them with government contracts.
