Bob Mayo.: Excellent posts on AAPL's advertising and ease of use

2 (humble) observations :

IBM gained mainframe dominance with its "just think" campaign in the '70s after 1st being panned for not having a "sales message " ;

Concerning the "ease of use post" , wonder why Gartner recently hired "competitor" Dataquest for a (negative) report on AAPL's future ?

<< "COST OF SUPPORTING THE PLATFORM
In the fall of 1995 The Gartner Group, a leading information technology industry analyst, released an
independent study that concluded that Macintosh
was at least 25% cheaper to support than Windows.">>

Seems if AAPL useage was less efficient Gartner could have just updated its report and saved some bucks !
