I spent several days at Comdex last week. If you were there — and you work as a systems builder, a parts vendor or an analyst — Comdex was a great show. If you work as an IT executive, you were probably disappointed because the show set IT expectations that it didn’t fulfill. As usual, rumors were flying around that this would be the last Comdex. But with a reported 50 thousand people at the event, it seems a shame to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Thanks for the chuckle. Apple's been on its deathbed for so long according to you buffoons that it's now comical to read these. ROFLMAO
""Most participants felt that the future world of technology would be solidly based on standards and that anyone not using standards would be gone." this is the most preposterous statement i have read on this site. ever. as long as there are emough people to demand a given technology it will continue, whether or not it adheres to a "standard" imposed by a private player (as opposed to an open standards body). they might as well have said that in five years all cars will be ford probes because of the price/performance mix. there will always be people who need the mac trucks (or sports cars) of sparc/power4. this "death knell" call for non-x86 platforms really shows that the comdex crowd doesn't look much beyond the email-checking market.
