OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
As if its success with iPod wasn’t enough, Apple looks to be on a winner with its new Intel Macintosh platform, judging by the reactions of the media and its readers.
In a new poll of iTWire readers taken over the past 24 hours, nearly
two thirds of the 448 respondents (299) believe that being able to dual
boot Windows will increase Macintosh market share compared with just
one third (159) who believe it will not.
Meanwhile, Apple is pressing home the advantage, with the recent
announcement of a 17 inch MacIntel notebook called the MacBook Pro. A
15 inch model of the new notebook is already available and the 17 inch
version will be available within a week.
Many pundits are betting that the new Intel Macs will revitalise
Apple’s previously flagging PC market share, which currently stands at
about 4%. Some believe, that traditional PC vendors are now in serious
danger of losing market share to Apple, as they cannot legally run the
Mac OSX operating systems on their machines.
Some desktop and notebook vendors are beginning to sell Intel Macs with
preloaded with Windows XP. The coming quarter should prove an
interesting one for Apple from a financial aspect, given that its
fortunes rode last quarter almost exclusively on iPod
growth.
