"Like I said, "If Apple is interested in making Mac OSX something for EVERYONE" blah blah blah. If they aren't, then my already nearly worthless advice becomes completely worthless.  Their stock has more than doubled in the past two years. It's grown by 50% since January. They are clearly doing something that people are happy about. But, at this point, Mac OSX simply cannot be for everyone. There are too many requirements (from wallets, to hardware, to software) that Mac OSX simply doesn't meet. Windows, even if people don't like it, it suited to just about everyone. From pricepoint, to hardware, to available software, almost anyone can "get by" with Windows if they have to. The same does not hold true for Mac OSX or Ubuntu." - Jim Reverend
