A Mac Attack on Scientific Computing Space?

Bud Tribble, Apple's VP of Software Technology, thinks so according to this ARNnet article. Apple has Unix, 64-bit processing, Windows interoperability and open source foundations. "Really, for the first time in this industry, you have a computer that can do all the scientific applications, and you can run Microsoft Office," he said at the BioSilico 2003 conference held a Stanford University. "It's been kind of a Holy Grail that started with Mac OS X." [Dana Baggett]
