After briefly becoming more valuable than Dell on January 13, 2006, Apple is once again more valuable than Dell. As of last night’s close, Apple Computer, Inc. is worth $60,166,590,800 in market value vs. Dell’s $60,061,881,440.
Not altogether surprising – we’ve bought somewhere around 50 Macs in the last 6 or 7 years, versus 1 Dell notebook!
So, they’ve finally gone and done it – Apple have got Windows XP running on their new Intel Macs. Interesting that this software was only released AFTER a member of the public actually managed to crack their system first… Surely they knew how to do it, but maybe they needed someone else to ‘discover’ the breakthrough so that Mr Gates does not accuse Apple of breaking a copyright. Who knows…
Apple’s ‘Boot Camp’ is a dual-boot solution, but also available today, Parallel’s product, in their words… “empowers users the ability to use Windows, Linux and any other operating system at the same time as Mac OS X, enabling users to enjoy the comfort of their Mac OS X desktop while still being able to use critical applications from other OSes”
Great news for us Mac-o-philes, still having to make sure our websites work in IE6 on a PC!!!
