My point is that apple does not control the hardware--Intel does. However I can see the wisdom in taking it a little slower and taking one step at a time. As in getting the transition out of the way first then changing the business model. I doesn't make sense to keep the same business model when you are in a new market though. You have to adapt to different situations.
Really I don't think Apple can take on Microsoft but i do think that Apple+Intel can. If intel subsidizes or buys Apple, I think Apple has a damn good chance of kicking the crap out of Microsoft. The problem with that is that Microsoft has already planted the seeds to help AMD take over should intel fail Microsoft. The problem I see with Microsoft using AMD is that They can't all of a sudden become incompatible with Intel--but IBM has no such problem :smokey:.
Sorry if the post seems a bit to speculative.
