"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?"

If Linux/OSX couldn't capitalise on the delays in Vista, I really don't seem them doing any better now that is released. The market share figures have been roughly the same for years. MS doesn't really pick up though; it just seems to replace older OSs, but they are still 90% of the desktop market overall.

This I must also disagree with whats to stop Apple from making a mid range desktop as is being requested? Also as for Microsoft calling the shots for a long time I think it is shorter then most people think. I don't expect them to go out of business or anything crazy like that but I do expect they will keep losing market to Linux and OSX and this is its self will keep them from calling the shots as Firefox has done on the browser side. You dont need 51% market share to scare MS into do the right things.
