Microsoft breakup

the register The DoJ obviously wants MS to break the company up in several little part-companies. The three separate companies will be supporting and developing the OSes (Win 2000), Applications and Web software. That means Mac users might be able to support the Apps and Web companies, by using and buying their products, and letting Windows be Windows. Most surprisingly Microsoft isn't even that dissapointed about the decision...

Pismo and Mac OS X update

MOSR has two articles online: One deealing with the delay of Pismo, which is obviously due to ATI, since they can't deliver any ATI Rage Mobility chips at the moment. There seems to be some major trouble with that chip. The second article deals with Mac OS X, and talks about the question which Macs will be supported.

Minuet is guilty

AppleInsider has also an article that claims Mac OS 9.0.1 guilty for the delay of all the new hardware. Obviously there where some serious issues with the ROM files, causing the new models to crash, rendering them unpresentable at the expo. While I believe that Minuet may have caused the delay of the Mystcis and the 17" iMacs, I also do believe that the delay of Pismo was not only caused by this, as noted above.
