except they just ruined that. Without INTEL chips now, they cant run a partition for windows, which means programs like Rhino or Autodesk cannot run on Mac. ALSO now that CS4 comes in 64 Bit, people will use a regular 64bit PC to run it. Mac still refuses to run a 64bit os.

Well... we are... the most important part of it actually. We are the clients. Ultimately, it's our money making it happen.

Not to mention most linux mirrors can't be bothered to support the ppc arch as its like less than 5% of the total downloads.

I find it ironic that Apple now makes PC clones and markets them as Macs(and their PC clones are better than their old "macs" which weren't PC clones). any mainstream personal computer on the market is now a PC clone. IBM's original design scales well and it's been a success. you can say what you want about software(Mac OSX is a solid OS), but hardware wise, PCs are now king simply because PPC is dead(what older macs used), sparc is dead, and nothing else is really viable anymore.

"We"? Oh, like you're really part of anything. You just own a fucking Mac computer and think you're part of something special.

Apple had to change their ways because Microsoft had (and has, although loosening) an iron grip on those areas. Where Apple really (and always) ruled was Creative Pro apps, like film maker and graphic design. This is the area they had to focus on to stay alive.
