MacDailyNews Take: People must be trying to get an idea of what might be in Longhorn if it ever ships.
What’s all this talk over Longhorn? I mean, I prefer them over Outbak, but sheesh… this is a computer site…
LOL. Great humor Joe. Love it.
I’m getting hungry. A nice steak sounds good. Pass the BBQ sauce.
How dare you ruin a perfectly good piece of meat with BBQ sauce…
I’ll never understand you people…
In all honesty, I prefer mine without sauce as well. Just couldn’t resist a small bit of embellishment. Please forgive me.

The woman is merely having a shower (OK, the angle is somewhat low). I also notice that the artist is Japanese and believe this would be rather tame compared to one of their comics.
Whoops wrong page!
Meat is murder. Had to balance the discussion

I would agree about not using BBQ if it was a good piece of meat… but well… this is going to be a big piece of rump roast!
Longhorn…..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Vegetables breathe and live also!!! You have to kill in order to live!!!
Life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life feeds on life…

I’d rather eat fruit than meat. An Apple a day…
Perhaps the increased visits have something to do with mac and pc users downloading the latest version of iTunes, not (as it would be hoped) pc people finally seeing the futility and error of their ways.
You eat plants? How barbaric!!

“…I don’t kill animals for taste enjoyment”
Neither do I, man. I assume there are butchers doing that for me. Good on ’em, and make mine rare…
“but well… this is going to be a big piece of rump roast!”
Nobody should even think of wasting perfectly good BBQ sauce on whatever MS serves up as “Longhorn”.
Imagine a big expensive restaurant with a kitchen everyone thinks is full of expert chefs. Your meal is two hours late, and in the meantime the waiter stops by occasionally to apologize for the delay & promise that you’ll be served “any time now”. When your food finally does arrive it’s half-missing, half-baked, and nothing like they promised in the menu. Bon appetit…
Would anyone patronize such a restaurant ever again? Hell no! Then why does the world take the same treatment from a software company?
As for the relevance to Apple’s web site, VERY cool. Does the number include the retail sites also (i.e. store.apple.com and iTunes)?
