THE BIG LIE -- that consumer and enterprise markets are completely different animals -- is coming apart at the seams. For those few holdouts who still think Apple is focused solely on the creative, educational, and digital elitist markets, the time has come, the walrus said. Steve Jobs' annual gathering of the tribe and his patented Reality Distortion Field have broken out of their base. Even as Mac devotees drool over the largest and smallest notebooks on the planet, and software revisions of Apple's iLife home digital tools, Jobs sends a heat-seeking missile into the heart of Microsoft Office. | ||

"...Jobs sends a heat-seeking missile into the heart of Microsoft Office." Hmm, did I miss the part that had anything to do with Microsoft Office. The only MacWorld announcement that had to do with Office was that a trial version would be included on new Macs.
As for the iApp announcements from Apple, yawn, don't expect that and a 17" monitor to win any converts. |

heat-seakers? Is that a device that copies technology? Because that appears to be the only thing Apple is good at.
Last I checked, Apples market share had been reduced from the laughable 5% to a paltry 3%. This post was edited by mooresa56 on Monday, January 13, 2003 at 11:21. |

| moore, I thought it was 2.4%. You must have your numbers from an optimistic source. :-) |

| It's true, it doesn't matter. We live in a time of lowered expectations. Just because something doesn't have 95% of the market implies that it sucks. I wonder how much the 80's have to do with this. . . |

| Macs don't totally suck, but #3 provides a good reason why PC users aren't likely to switch, and why Apple remains, heh, behind the curve. |
