Interesting conversation. I would like to point out that Apple has broken out of an old problem it had a few years ago. That is whenever it increased market share it lost money and whenever it made money it lost market share. Today Apple is making money and is increasing market share at a rate it has not done since the 80's. Now if you look at Microsoft and its recent attempts to increase market share in vertical market spaces, it has struggled. The reason is pretty simple; people are seeing things simply work on a Mac. I can relate some anecdotal evidence. The office where I consult has about 30 employees, 50% in just 6 years have moved over to Mac’s as there personal computer. None are going to go back – not one.
