Allow me to make a post more in character with ZDNet Talkback...

In the manner of that most esteemed and common of ZDNet posters - the MacFreak.

Cloud will FAIL MISERABLY because it is a Micro$oft product based on Winblows, NOBODY cwill ever be able to rely on Microsoft "software as a service" because they're not Apple. Everything should be based on .mac! .mac will never fail because Apple make quality software and excellent hardware, even though they use they exact same programming methodologies, languages and (where they rely on open sourcers - such as in OSX) they same code as everybody else and though their hardware uses the same components as everybody else, Apple will just be so much better because the experience you get from Apple products you simply cannot get from anywhere else.

I mean, I had a Winblows PC for years and I could barely even switch it on, pressing that power key was so hard what with Micro$oft and Dell like, confusing me and stuff. On my Mac the power key looks exactly the same and does exactly the same thing but it's an Apple product so it's like so much easier.

Feeling more at home now?
