Wow! Great comments from everybody
Outlook is a GREAT one. Don't know why I didn't think of that myself. That's one I've been wanting myself, as Mail just doesn't do it for me.
For agreenster, who wrote: "Maya IS for OSX, so why are you wishing for it? Maybe I mis-read." Yeah, you misread ;-) Maya's performance in OS X is lacking, and its review in Macworld was less than stellar. Apparently it doesn't--of all things--support multiple G4s, and it needs greater compatibility with X. Hence, its performance was weak.
tfaz1 wrote that he/she would like to see greater "wow" products that could lure in some Windows market share. Well I'll tell ya, the only thing that's gonna lure in some Windows market share is lower prices, and Steve already said that he has no plan of doing that. Idiot. He wants to sell his products as quality products that justify a higher price. But in today's HIGHLY competitive computer market, that's idiotic. And after skimming through DV's review of 6 dual-processor workstations, including the dual-800MHz G4, and reading how badly it performed versus the others, well, there's little justification to me about the Mac's higher prices, DVD-burning or not. Granted, the tests were mostly for OS9. Perhaps when AE comes out for X, and DV does their annual workstation review next year, things will be different. But until more apps ARE X-compatible, the Mac just won't be competitive with x86 solutions. So lower your prices Steve until the Mac has all the apps it needswritten to take advantage of multiple G4s and OS Xto be truly competitive.
Oh... who's Shannon Elizabeth?
