The Mac Observer corrals three recent articles, all linked to by Apple in their "Hot News" section, which disparage Windows XP and join the OS X hype bandwagon. This is certainly a welcome change from the doom-n-gloom we heard over and over back in 1997-- it seems that the tide has well and truly turned.
One of the articles mentioned is the one by Stewart Alsop from yesterday. As TMO comments:
You may remember Stewart Alsop as the man who ranted and raved with great gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair when Apple bought NeXT, Inc. in 1997. He wanted the company to buy Be, Inc. instead, a company in which his own venture capital company had a large interest. Later, he predicted the death of Apple, as so many other people have done from about 1982 until last week. In recent months, Mr. Also has changed his tune considerably, starting when he came back to the Mac platform in June of 2001. In any event, it's a very pleasant change to read Mr. Alsop speaking so highly of the Mac platform today, especially considering the heapin' helping of Humble Pie (mixed with a tasty side order of crow) he had to eat in order to do so.
Winnin' folks back to the flock, eh? Sounds good to me.
