"The introduction of Microsoft Windows Vista and its' many confusing and progressively expensive flavors has opened up a er, period of opportunity for Apple (formerly Apple Computer). Will Steve Jobs take a really bold chance to increase his market share or just play it safe with his little fiefdom of iPods, iTunes and forthcoming iTV?"

You are 100% correct. Same reason why SGI machines with IRIX were so hot in their day. Apple purchasing NeXT and using NEXTSTEP as the next generation MacOS was brilliant. NeXT had one the same thing--integrated hardware and operating system in one unified package--and it rocked. They just brought it up to current technologies. I don't see why industry analysts don't get this!
The one I'm somewhat surprised about, if I can go slightly off-topic, is Sun and Solaris. I think if they opened Solaris/offered it for no-charge earlier they would have more of a foothold on non-Sun x86 hardware then then do now. It's a great OS on x86, even better on SPARC.
Apple, keep on doing what you're doing. Keep shocking the industry with your product announcements. You'll be around forever!
