[Ti] Re: WordPerfect vs, MS Word

[Henry Kalir]

Whoa, now!!

Chris, you cited :"...Adobe's failure to port FrameMaker to OS X" as the 
reason for the tech people's move to Windows in Q1 2006. Why are you 
bringing up the x86? Your VERY OWN organization is telling you that if 
there's NO SOFTWARE, you have to go with the "inferior PC" and that 
"Windows OS" so you can run your application and be able to do your 
work. This has NOTHING whatsoever to do with the x86 decision.  Can you 
say "3% market SHARE"????
 I put it to you, that BECAUSE of this decision there's a good chance 
that Apple will enjoy a revival and that companies such as Adobe will , 
once again, **write** for the Mac OS, and not merely "port it".

Get real, Chris!

Best,

Henry
