Even the inside of

It's what's inside those trailers, though, that is the key to Microsoft's cloud-computing efforts. Each of the shipping containers in the
Chicago data center houses anywhere from 1,800 to 2,500 servers, each of which can be serving up e-mail, managing instant messages, or running

starting all the way back from Windows Me to NT to Vista and now Windows 7," he said. "As a result, I think people are looking for something
different, and the Mac offers real ease of use, stability and security." In his defense, Apple did just release their quarterly earnings which do
backup some of his statements.

7 saying it has "even more complexity" than Vista because it's just based on the "same old tech as Vista." Apple is notorious for attacking

Apple keen to push Safari 3.1 on Windows users.
If you run iTunes or QuickTime or any Apple software on your Windows PC, but not Safari, you might have seen an uninvited guest show up in the Apple
Software Update earlier this week. Yes, Apple thinks you need yet another browser. They tried to slip the new Safari 3.1 in for iTunes owners, a move
that has some Windows users up in arms.
The program is usually used for updating Apple software, and so getting new software with the deal
wasn't something a lot of users expected. And users who don't do anything but the default, are basically going to be getting software they
didn't plan to have.

Bang On: We all need Apple
Even if you don't own an iPod or an iPhone and regardless of whether or not you run OS X, there is one inevitable truth that many people may
overlook: As consumers and geeks, you and I need Apple. I'm sure Apple fans are cheering and Windows and Linux users are getting ready to pelt
me with virtual tomatoes of disagreement and disdain. Apple is just one of those companies, though. They incite such strong loyalty in many and such
fervent hatred in others. Our very own forums and the accompanying log of warnings is a clear indication of that.

In the light of Microsoft releasing their brand new operating system, Windows 7, Apple did not stay quiet. Apple released three new "I'm a Mac,
I'm a PC" advertisements, focusing on users switching from Windows to Mac, in an attempt to pick up some more market share from upgrading
consumers. The advertisements focus more on consumers who are looking to upgrade their home PC, to go buy a Mac, rather than the usual commercials
that depict the faults of Windows. The first of the advertisements attempt to bash Windows 7 on launch day, saying it will have the same problems as
previous versions of Windows.
