The company expressed concern that to the extent its minority market share has caused software developers to question Apple's prospects in the PC space, developers could be less inclined to develop software for Apple products, and instead feel more inclined to devote their resources to developing software for the larger Windows market or growing Linux market. Here is the 10-K form in question.

Member since:Seems to me Bill Gates has more of a cult following than Steve Jobs. And I think we are all adults here-- we all know both guys make money doing what they do. But Jobs has a much more difficult task ahead of him: he has to convince millions of people that computers can be fun and reliable.

Of course its a cult. It has an infallible leader, who is generally believed to make no money from it, despite his gargantuan stock options, a party line, an enemies list, a belief that its members are different and special.
You hear the same brainwashed assertions from them all the time, straightforward denials of known facts. You can see all that in this thread, from LIP's assertion that Mac users somehow use their computers differently, to the crazed misinformation about what it takes to install and run Linux. Earlier on OS News you had equally crazed misinformation about the prices of Apple hardware versus other hardware.
It has been Jobs' peculiar genius to make what is mostly a simple consumer goods purchase the object of a cult, to have grown enormously rich while doing it, and to have at the same time persuaded his followers that he is selflessly doing this for no compensation. It is a cult.
It didn't use to be. It started out as a company making wonderful computers, way ahead of its time and the competition But its what it has turned into.
