i1ducati: That post expresses a lot of the feelings I have about the new situation rather lucidly. I feel Apple has entered a different arena and needs to have a different business strategy.

Also my new catch phrase: market share begets market share. I just talked to my Dad to see if he would buy an intel based Apple and he said,"if Apple is so good then why isn't my company using them. Nobody is using them they are only 2%" And like the article said hardware is commodity so you aren't going to easily increase your OS market share taking that route.

You can't say market share doesn't matter and Apple is profitable with a small market share because with small market share small things mean a lot. One upset can cause the whole down fall of Apple.
