I'm going to go out on a really big limb here and predict that we will pass DPC before next Monday, barring a highly unlikely stampede.
Threatening the DPCs with a cow tipping rampage did little to stir them from their cud chewing bliss
And I wouldn't count Mac OS X out, yet.

Could this be the beginning of a stampede

Yeah? WHEN? I've been hearing "Real Soon Now" for what, about 3 weeks? I am beginning to wonder if there is substance to this latest round of "promises" or just more hot air.
Is anyone else bored since we put a little distance between ourselves and Team MacOS X? The Dutch Bovines aren't showing much life.

we put a little distance
You said it yourself my friend! The key word being little! To quote George Peppard from the A Team, 'I love it when a plan comes together!' Who let the dogs out!? Who!? Who!? Who let the dogs out!?

According to EOC we will overtake DPC in four days. Currently we are ~30,000 points ahead of TeamMacOSX that means you need to produce an average of 7500 points more than us in the next four days. Good luck and fold on.

C'mon people, remember what I said--let's do it SILENTLY. Let's speak softly and carry a big stick, and STOP ACTING LIKE BRATTY CHILDREN.

yeah, it's weird. we had this old Pentium we kept around just for math, but it kept giving us the wrong numbers.....
you also need to understand, us Mac folks are used to the Steve Jobs version of coming soon.
promise it'll be there in Feb, then deliver in April.

The proper term is 'reality distortion field'. You WILL succumb!

At least Steve Jobs version of coming soon, market ready and marketable has improved over the last few decades. I call Lisa as exhibit A and Next as exhibit B. Some may argue that the early Macs weren't exactly market ready either.
And his version of coming soon is still better than Bill Gate's version.

I love you Mac guys! You make me laugh. Damn it! If I get to know too many more of you, I won't be able to justify my blind hatred of Macs.

Oh, I don't think THAT's going to happen. Normally I like spending twice the money for half the performance, but you just can't game on a Mac.

The only thing I must admit a PC has going for it would happen to be that they make nice cheap folding boxes. All my Macs are used for important revenue generating work (and folding) so I can build more cheap folding boxes!
Yeeehaaa!
