Thought Mac did not care about the server market - guess this is just for Mac Mini users....?
I think Apple have all the pieces a little investment and they could nail the server market. They just never invested in it enough.
Bring Mac Ports in house bring back some great server hardware..keep costs in check...get some deals done with vmware...yeah they could do it they failed because all their attention was on the consumer market.
I seem to be using safari mostly on macs, ie on win, ice weasel on debian etc - seems I don't care what browser I use and those are easy defaults. All do the same thing for a user. Speed on modern machines and fast connection is pretty much irrelevant these days.
Google Chrome is used mostly on their stuff I guess also although I don't use much Google staff personally.
Good browser though just I am tired of all these apps doing the same thing...no I really do not care about the letter t being styles wrongly in one or that the dom is a bit off on another when getting elements...just don't care as a user anymore which one I use.
Addons most are rubbish use once toys unless your have a special need. So who cares which browser people use.
Then again it is Alpha and V1 is perfectly stable...however there is glimpses of greatness in V2.
Ideas and concepts reworked and refactored just not finished yet show this will be hugely popular when complete.
I never used projects don't care they are binned in V2. I prefer to work off the file system as projects just f-up using version management tools. That may be why they got nailed.
I just wish they would throw people at it as I know it is a tiny team working on it...Textmate is probably the least employee supported app considering it's user base and complexity I know of.
At this point all we have is a preview of what is to come. Let us just hope it happens sooner rather than later.
Nice preview enjoyed it but will stay with V1 until this matters a bit more...by beta I would think I will move to it.
I know V2 misses the split screen views people want..I hear it is on way though...I hope. Try one of the window snappers like flexiglass etc. It does work not to badly in the mean time. A lot of V1 users are dong that.
Still tinkering in V2 the new column editor modes I have never seen anything like that before...won't be long until the other editors try to rip it off. Read the blogs on their site it is very impressive now. Would be nice if they could combo something to avoid the mouse clicks as that is the bottleneck in speed - but still very nice.
More stock colours built in...solid colours most people like would be nice. Apple patterns are yuck of late.
This is another app Apple should have included if they were going to invent these things.
Then again mission control is totally vista like...someone at Apple is getting their ass kissed. Oh that is lovely destroy spaces with that your so wonderful KISS KISS KISS. Fine add it but why did they remove the option to have simple spaces. The problem with mission control is on a MacBook the spaces are too small to see. With the old spaces you could have just 4 spaces and when zoomed out it was like a mission control you could actually see what was going on in each space...now it is like a satallite view and useless on small screens.
I hope Apple do not go MS and start with all these OTT ideas. This is one of their worst backward steps on years.
At least this app lets us try to tidy it up a bit.
Oh it works with InDesign and Quark that is the high price angle the rich graphics guys...well still silly money and can be done better in TextSoap and Dropped in. You have to be a fool to try to do this inside InDesign. If your working on text inside InDesign you have a serious problem with workflow.
This broke some of my Java apps so I am finally gonna bin them stupid Java I hate Java so much...why can't people just use C based languages and Python/Ruby all the Java stuff is crap and owned by a crap company. It is like ActionScript just horrid mess. YMMV but I "personally" hate everything coded in it.

If you need to look at address book often you need this. Apple should buy this and integrate it into Address Book - why they have not I have no idea.
