an excellent blog where Robert X. Cringely speculates that the new OS 10.5 kernel will run XP apps with "stolen" M$ technology. an interesting read...

I have MANY MANY issues with Cringely's retarded ramblings, in particular this one. I'm going to reserve comment until after I calm down a bit...

I didn't mean it as an attack in your direction at all Gabe, honest. Cringely gets under my skin sometimes, that's all. I think a lot of his ideas are very unfounded and have no basis on fact (or in some cases reality). It was just a week or so ago that he was convinced that apple would become a ms oem! Although it is an interesting idea - any possible implimentation would be inherently more flawed and insecure than either a native xp os or a native osx os. (IMHO)

i DIDN'T understand THE article. THEY kept USING big WORDS like:

"Cupertino", "Rosetta", "Cringely", and "Sexual Chocolate".
