The iApple 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 OK, 2008 has gone to history. It's 2009, and sure there will be new exiting stuff from our friends Apple and Microsoft. So what are you're greatest expectations and predictions form them this year? There's the new Windows from Microsoft, Windows 7 that looks promising, could this be the 'lighout' from the Vista blackout? and there's rumors about a new Mac Mini, the Touch Book (Be careful HP TouchSmart PC!), and Snow Leopard. Could there be a new Microsoft gadget? Maybe a 'Zune Phone'? Would Microsoft conquer 'Yahoo!'? Could Apple start going to the gaming branch and release the 'iGame'?? What do you think? Link to post
newgriptape 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 mmmmhm. i see a future full of apple products running on windows. i see visions of success for snow leopard. and most of all, maybe even an apple game console. Link to post
KAWSquared 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Lol. Apple fanboys. I see a period of failure for both companies thanks to the economy. Link to post
deathmedic3rd 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I see Apple making apple waffles and microsoft trying to copy them with strawberry waffles Link to post
Davordg 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 ..."our friends Apple and Microsoft"...???..are you naive ??? Link to post
newgriptape 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 maybe success for that my dashboard program in beta right now. hmmmmm Link to post
shadyblues13 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hmm. Microsoft and Apple maybe marketing enemies right now, but if they really hated eachother, there wouldn't be microsoft office 2008 for the Mac. Plus they do have some respect for eachother or else BootCamp and iTunes would not exist, and also Microsoft has a whole branch dedicated to working with Apple mac's software. Link to post
KAWSquared 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hm, a whole branch do they? Only MS apps I know/remember that work on Mac is IE and MS Office. Link to post
alpha2zulu 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 + Windows Media Player.And Live Messenger.And Remote Desktop. Link to post
KAWSquared 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 WMP is just support for files.Live Messenger yeah, forgot that.Remote Desktop isn't designed by MS. Link to post
The iApple 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 @ ShadyBlues13, MS and Apple makes apps for each other just to promote the program and hopefully their OS, people say '-OH iTunes is soooooo cool that OS X must me cool also, so I will switch', the same thing with Apple,'-OH Office is wonderful, so I will bootcamp it on my Mac' Link to post
alpha2zulu 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 What a lot of people don't know is that Microsoft Office came out for Macs first.And I've always thought Boot Camp was a statistics ploy. Now Windows can literally be on any computer, increasing their market share even further.@KAWSquared No, WMP is a downloadable application. Although it's gone without an update for some time. And what do you mean RDP isn't "designed" by Microsoft? The technology, application, updates, and support is all provided by them, so who else could be behind it? Link to post
metallicamaster3 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I see a period of failure for both companies thanks to the economy.Probably what's going to end up happening in the end.I for one hope for a new Mac Mini, an exclusive version of Windows for barebones gaming (meaning, an operating system dedicated to be lightweight enough to make it game outstandingly), and seeing Snow Leopard released for all 2GHz+ computers (not just Apple labeled ones!) to enjoy.And then there's the crush of said hope.

woodenforest 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 If you want a gameing Windows, try vista...2009: Apple -> 3000€ notebooks, in these times? Exactly the right thing.A Mac Mini for 500-600€ would be inappropriate wouldnt it...MS: 7 is going to be gooooooooooood. Link to post
foxofinfinety 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 WMP is just support for files.Live Messenger yeah, forgot that.MSN messenger, Windows Live Messenger is only for windowsand WMP 9 a full app for mac OS X: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=enthe components for quicktime are named flip4mac and is not from Microsoft but from telestream Link to post
charliek2 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 With this kind of recession I am sure every company would like to postpone their launching new products further. But I am looking for Mini Mac. Link to post
Bromoney 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm looking for those solid state hard drives to become cheaper this year. Once they can get the price down on those things, it's going to change computers Link to post
