>>if only 5% of the WinTel boxes install Rhapsody this would increase the base by 50% over just the installed Mac base << It is absolutely right about this, but, how many percentage of this 5% WinTel owners will give up buying Mac since Rhapsody will be working on their WinTel. The above instance is not quite clear. Let's assume a customer who tries to buy his first pc, and since Rhapsody and win95/NT, both work at Intel-based machine, the probability of his choosing intel-based pc will be a lot higher than choosing Mac. My prediction is as soon as Rhapsody's cross-platform becomes available, the sales on Mac will slide. But it will be offset by people who originally use WinTel and want to install Rhapsody on their machines.
