It can't be new iMacs and toys for the boys every time.<BR/><BR/>Of course it would be nice to see new hardware, but WWDC is an event for developers. Showing off Leopard (don't forget all the WWDC attendees get to take home the latest beta) and web apps for the iPhone doesn't seem unreasonable.<BR/><BR/>Apple have been writing software for the PC for ages. Ever watched a Quicktime movie in Windows? Know anyone who syncs an iPod with iTunes on XP?<BR/><BR/>Safari for Windows is going to be a good thing once the bugs are sorted out. If Safari gets a larger share of usage then the few websites that don't support it will have to think again. It's also going to make it easier for Windows based web developers to chech their sites work in Safari.<BR/><BR/>The Mac community is a good thing. But the over exciteable members of the gang need to stop behaving like kids on Christmas Eve and acquire some perspective.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730628344718432915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13904838.post-81095434898589768602007-06-11T22:06:00.000+00:002007-06-11T22:06:00.000+00:00I perfectly agree with you.
