Think of this... if Apple had better production and got their computers out in the market faster, there would be way more Macs than IBMs. Plus there are more IBM cuz they are cheaper but does it mean they are better? No. You pay more for a mac but you also get more. > Why are the majority of software on PC first? > > Why are PC's serviced 5 times more than macs?

Windows 95.. "It's more Mac like.." Why don't you just buy a damn Mac. Also, Win 95 is so pathetic its only equivalent to a Mac about 10 years ago. They are so many things that IBM is trying to copy to make people think they are better than Mac. There's the stupid Recycling Bin which is are Trash can. There's the short cuts which is known as aliases on are System and other things not worth mentioning since it would be just too degrading. p.s. If you EVER want to beat the Mac system... get rid of DOS. -Dumb Operating System (c) 1996.
