Let me answer your message :
"Audity writes: "Steve Jobs and his team have spend the last 3 years only focused on design and propaganda instead of improving the system itself." Oh my, so very wrong. (...) If you honestly believe that they're only focussed on advertising and design, you haven't done your homework about the company."
The G4 processor is old and slow. There hasn't been any serious improvement on it since 2 years. PENTIUM and ATHLON processor are now far ahead. Any serious benchmark can show this. You know, even 3D software companies complain about this.
The MAC G4 dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC (with 512 Mb of RAM and a 120 Gb HD) costs $ 3500. You can get a faster PC for $1000. Good design, but poor perfomance...
But Apple still claim that MACs are "the best you can get". So YES this is only "design and propaganda". Look at the whole "Switch to MAC" adverstings (http://www.apple.com/switch). How would you call this :
"I coudn't do video. I couldn't do audio. I couldn't do anything on my PC" -
"You can do things on a Mac that PC users only dream about" -
So, am I wrong by saying that "Steve Jobs and his team have spend the last 3 years only focused on design and propaganda instead of improving the system itself" ?
