So how does Apple do overseas, particularly Asia?

 

Apple's biggest mistake? Telling everyone all their products would have Intel processors a year before all of them would.

Like the article points out, nearly everyone who may have bought an Apple during that period held-out. You'd have been foolish to.

I've a feeling that they'll see some gains this quarter and next, with their most popular consumer level computer now out (and surprisingly affordable - the MacBook), and their two most popular professional products out and on it's way (the MBP and their pro-Desktop, whatever it'll be called).

Nevertheless, it's no secret that Apple can't win share from the big dogs. Basic economics. $3000 is simply more than most people care to pay for a computer... no matter how great it may be.

 

I agree with everything you said. The Intel switch was handled pretty poorly which clearly cut into their sales last year. I do think we will see an upward trend from now on.

 

I wonder if anyone tracks computers purchased just for personal use and not just overall sales that include corporate purchases? It seems to me that Apple's share in this area has to have increased in the last year or so.

I'm not even going to bother to go into specifics, but after skimming just the first five entries in this "list" I will officiall declare this article's author is a fucking moron.

 

 

Oh come on... It was somewhat an entertaining read.

A very comprehensive review

 

I agree, this is still a beta OS and it will have problems and he olny pointed out the bad not any of the good.

I saw that I liked it a whole lot better than the computerworld review. They didn't judge, just reviewed and let you build your own conclusions. They gave you both thegood and the bad.

 

who cares what it is when it's soooo damn fugly

 

Now why would some asshat come into a tech forum and post for a ban...when he could have just sent a PM to them???


I got it...to let us know that you are a lil snitch bitch....



Sorry Adam...just needed to comment.
