According to Apple, their .Mac HomePage feature now lets you be even more creative with new features that include brand-new templates and new ways to share files and publish external HTML pages. Interestingly, Apple has added support for creating and editing pages on Windows XP:
Now you can access HomePage from PCs running Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP. Create and edit pages just the way you do on your Mac.

Mark my words, Apple’s dropping the Mac as soon as it’s economically feasible – as soon as they replace the revenue with consumer electronics and devices. It’s sad. It’s over, folks.
nope
Gentlemen, Anon has just fulfilled the idiot quotient for this thread. Reasonable posts only from here on out. Thanks.
Yeh, as soon as they replace the revenue, they will drop the Mac. Or instead, they can have 2X the revenue and keep the Mac. As a shareholder, which would you prefer.
As a shareholder I choose option two, David.
With iTunes for windows, Apple wants to ease PC users into the mac-style. If you have everything on .mac, it’ll make it much easier to switch, and Apple didn’t have to do much to make it compatible with windows browsers. It’s not like it wasn’t included with a bunch of other redesign elements.
Sweet support for XP and IE 6 …
Yet we the faithful are still waiting for a patch the the gaping security hole in the OS !
you bet a shiver just went down my spine…

And I’m still waiting for a patch for the 61,341 gaping security holes in Windows…
The only “gaping security holes” are those in the heads of idiot users who would click on any link on their screen. F’ ’em.
(I’m referring to Sputnik’s post, of course.)
Trollanon, you appear just plain stupid.
Yeah, Sputnik, what “gaping security hole”?
Usually I would not respond however, this is a serious issue.
You the user may be surfing the internet, just clicking around reading news stories following links in forms and by just clicking on a simple link; not a p2p or porn link and your entire home directory could be deleted just by visiting a standard html based web page.
If you feel that you are able to determine if a link is safe just by looking at it…
well that is just not a logical thought process.
Do you ever do a google search?
Do you use the internet?
Mac users wake up!
more important
Apple Computer WAKE UP!

not my bad Idiots error on MDN side…
btw: What am I saying that is not true?
Please, lets look at the facts.

Did I say you weren’t stating facts?
Whatever you do, don’t click on the links in Idiots’ post above!! They might hurt you. You might be subjected to the “gaping security hole” that so many millions of Mac users have been hit with!!!
What’s that? Not one user has suffered any negative effects of this “gaping security hole”? Oh, never mind.
THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!!
Or maybe it’s to widen the appeal of .Mac to the Windows universe to create more revenue through subscriptions paid for by XP users?
Duh.
I agree with others who see this as one more way to entice Windows users into Mac world. All these enterprises have nothing but the goal of making Apple, its offerings, its application visible and have a taste of it even when you do not have a Mac yet. It is all about *fishing*, same with the iTune SDK released for Windows.
OT: please, visit http://macfixit.com
it explains the web browsing exploit (not(!) an OS X security flaw) and the ridicously easy fix to it (while waiting for an Apple take on the issue). Tried it myself and it works like a charm: all the links around *featuring* the exploit are now uneffective.
Those links are also accessible from macfixit so you may cure yourself and verify it has worked. Trust me: it does.
Hell yeah it’s one more thing to entice people to come over. I love that Apple isn’t taking a hardliner stance in the world of computing. Windows users, come on board, it’ll be nice and easy…
This is good. Plenty of people have a mac at home and a PC at work. This means you can change stuff at work, despite not having your mac with you.
The gaping security hole is potentially open to anyone who would google for something. Maybe there’s not really a malicious version of it that we’re actually likely to come across while surfing, but you don’t know what’s at the other end of ANY link until you click it.
Did you click on a link on MDN to get to this page ?
Well then, you must be an idiot, because you didn’t know what was here. Right ?
THE SKY IS FALLING!!!
The addition of this feature is just recognition of the marketplace: many people may use a Mac at home or luckily at work, but if they go to the local internet coffee house the computers are universally PCs. Now you can go there and use .Mac. Remember, the main users of .Mac are those who travel often and need to access their info on remote computers.
My speculation is that there must be coming soon some connection between iTunes, .Mac homepages, and the iPod. Maybe it will be connected to photos or video on the rumored 4th generation iPod. Maybe Steve will tell us on June 28th.
Just remember that everything Apple does leads back in some way to some piece of hardware that Apple sells. Remember, Microsoft said it: Apple knows how to compete!
