With apologies to Cesare, you guys need to be coming up with better arguments.

Make that *any* arguments.


soup,

With all due respect, your arguments haven't exactly been all that compelling either.

You're basically saying that Apple has this superior technology, and that QT4 (which, BTW, is a piece of beta software, and hasn't been released yet) is going to win.

Well, Apple has been making the "we have superior technology" argument since 1984. They have 4% of the market. Wow. Chalk one up for superior technology.

Am I worried about MSFT? Hell, yes. You'd have to be crazy not to be. Is Apple a worry? Sure, why not. I suppose they could somehow stop being a bunch of marketing idiots and actually put their technology (which is very good) into a lot of hands. But you still haven't outlined any real reason why RNWK is in trouble. They have consistently maintained 85% of the market. They find a new partner every other day. Their download rate is huge. They continue to reinvest in the company. They have met and/or beat estimates for six straight quarters.

So far, sounds to me like they're doing what they need to do.
