I for one will be disappointed to see Palm migrate over to Windows .

As a MacIntosh user I have always stuck with Palm devices because they integrate very well with Macs ; and I have avoided Windows and Microsoft based software because all my friends who use these products always seem to be having problems , crashes , viruses etc.

My Mac just works - and I want to keep it that way !

Windows ? No thanks !

Yeah thats the main reason I have ordered a palm is because it's windoze and Mac and I use both frequently. So in the future when I would need to upgrade it will be a shame that it's unlikely I'll go for a palm if they go over to windows only.

And over the years I lean more and more over to using Macs only, so this just seems like a step back to me...

Win mobile 5 copied all the best features from palm OS although I'm not sure whats going to happen with Mac compatibilty.
