Well, the ever-prescient Rob Enderele says over at Tech News World:

"In what is the biggest cross-vendor effort of its type since the early '90s, the OEMs are building and funding projects to "fix Windows." I can't go into detail about who is doing what, but some are essentially efforts to find a way to recreate the MacOS."

Shame about those "details". But, clearly, Psystar has boobed thinking that OS X gives an attractive product differentiation to a hardware maker. Even Apple itself had better drop OS X before it's too late. Windows is about to clean OS X's clock. It must be true: Rob Enderle says so.

What? He's got an hour-glass figure?

What amused me was that Enderlele said recently that Mac users believed that anyone who criticized Apple was being paid by Microsoft. There are three problems with that statement.

First, I doubt Mac users do believe that of "anyone".

Secondly, insofar as any particular person does raise their suspicions they'd be raised whether he criticized Apple or whether he criticized any other Microsoft competitor.

Thirdly, the content of internal Microsoft documents that speak of buying opinion would mean that their suspicions that it is often bought would be amply justified.

Direct quotation from one James Plamondon, a so-called "Technical Evangelist" at Microsoft:

"--Analysts: Analysts sell out - that's their business model."

Sorry guys, I meant waste. LOL!

you'd have to be nuts to do business with this outfit. Then again, there are a lot of Windows users out there...

Ok, it's Tuesday now, has Psystar taken advantage of the free advertising and agreed to an interview by IDG News Service, as requested four days ago? Or are they hiding something?
