Recent news tells us Apple is still struggling to gain market share in the personal computer market. That's too bad. While I have some beefy grieves with Apple (being that I am an IT "expert" and all that), their systems nonetheless beat the proverbial tars out of the typical Windows PC crowd.

How long will it be before they say, we can meet our forcasted numbers if we sell some high end Limited edition (1000 availible only) PC's with OS X installed on them at the belessing of Steve Jobs as part of a promotional stunt shortly after the release of Leopard.
Hell yes :-)

But a Mac with the same specs doesn't cost more.
You can buy a PC with the specs that are most important to you while Apple requires that you buy a present list of specs with fewer options fopr customization. However, when compared side by side... the Mac is typically the same... however freequently less.

How about we stop trying to make Apple and Linux take over the market and just wait. MS is doing a great job of slowly killing their market share. in fact, were it not for the OEM deals, they'd be a lot of trouble right now market share wise. People can't afford Macs, not becuase they lack the money, but mostly becuase, when they see a Mac next to a PC with the same specs, it looks like it cost more. People don't use Linux, because you can't go into a store and buy a computer that comes with Linux. Let's conqueror that barier before we even get to the configuration argument. Time conquerors all and every market leader comes back to the pack, and windows will do the same. Dell isn't selling the same number of PCs, so how long will it be before they say, were can meet our forcasted numbers if we install linux on some of our boxs and reduce our software cost. How long will it be before they say, we can meet our forcasted numbers if we sell some high end Limited edition (1000 availible only) PC's with OS X installed on them at the belessing of Steve Jobs as part of a promotional stunt shortly after the release of Leopard. It may not happen tomorrow, but the day is comming. Think of it as the day after Vista is finally released.
