Apple and the missing web solution: a dream about the Web

In these month I’ve completed the switch between my t42p and my new MacBook. Having a Mac in my hands is Great, but there are still some pieces that are not well covered, IMHO.

I think about the Web and the central role it is playing nowadays. Blogs, personal websites, wikies and similar things are at the heart of the new Web 2.0 Bubble (is it a bubble or will it least?) . I have been hit by the performances and the transparency of some software embedded in my Mac (the capability to see the trailers is one of those), but I feel like I’m missing some important part when dealing with Mac and Web.

Apple and Leopard: what should we expect?

iWeb is nothing but something too old to be useful and I miss something to control my blog directly. I was thinking to something like a wordpress controller with more interaction between your desktop and the web. Is this something we should expect from Leopard?

However the Windows users have nothing to fear: give Microsoft some months and you will have a copy of every piece of user interface from M$! (ouch… I’m really a bad boy)

Yeah I think one area I still feel lacking is anytime there’s multimedia on the web like an AVI or WMV file. There is a plug-in called Flip4Mac that helps. But otherwise if you get a copy of VLC it can usually play these files. Sometimes, using Firefox helps as I have had a few instances where Safari didnt’ work on a site.

I guess in the worst case, with an Intel Mac, we can always install XP! I haven’t done it yet but I keep thinking I should if only for the XPerience (no pun intended).

Yeah, this is also another things that I miss (sometimes). A lot of sites provides you some video… but I cannot see them! :(

Well, nothing vital! :D

You are right Guido!!! How dared I to tell that Micro$oft copy MAC OS?
Really, I shouldn’t have told that! :D

Wait… but it’s quite true: a lot of features of Vista are the exact copy of OSX!!!! :P

I’m a Bad Boy!!!!!
