As long as apple keeps going down the road it has been for the last 10 years with blinders on then MS has NOTHING to worry about. Apple is reaping exactly what it sowed in the 90's, slow PC sales, eroding PC customer base, and disdain from those that jumped ship. Why Apple didn't give up proprietary hardware and keep control over the OS no one knows but it cost them big time. Don't believe it? Then explain why sales of Apple PC’s have slowed every year since 1995 and why software for them has disappeared as well? When Adobe ported PS to Windows the writing was on the wall for Apples demise. Had it not been for the ipod raking in over 60% of all apples cash revenue they would already be hanging the out of business sign. With Sony and the PSP (nicknamed ipod killer) the ipod sales will continue to slack, in fact I am willing to bet that 3Q sales will be stagnant and 4Q will show really bad numbers for apple. You can't expect people to spend 5 grand on a PC and two years later tell them they have to do it again, it’s OK if you're pimping a $500 x86 but not a $5k Apple. As far as I am concerned they will get exactly what they sowed in the next few years. Don't get me wrong, I hate MS, love FreeBSD, but as far as the Corp world goes MS has a long and prosperous life left, Apple on the other hand will be lucky if they are still in business and making PC's in 2010. They knew this was the last year they could taught the fastest PC so now they go Intel?!! If that isn’t selling out PPC then I don't know what is. You apple die hards cry about windblows being unstable, what do you think OSX is going to do on an x86 platform? If Steve Jobs had ANY integrity for Apple then he would have let the south pacific knock out Apple clones cheap and cost effective to consumers and hold onto the OS, but he didn't and he won't and now you can thank him for putting Intel in next years G5's, so sad someone could be so stupid and take what used to be the ultimate PC and turn it into an expensive toaster oven.
