*** OT Just IMHO: Your point doesn't hold. I think Dell is great and Apple is also great, but each in different ways. Why would Apple need to outsell Dell to be successful? I recognize Dell is great company so I invest in it. I also recognize Apple is great (at least at the moment) so I invest in it. I am also glad Apple exists so I have the opportunity to buy a different computer and operating system that I find more satisfying. I'd like to think I am objective here because I know well both MacOS and Windows NT (I am a long time Mac user but I am also Windows NT software developer). Right now, Apple is doing formidably considering where they are coming from, after years of bad management and very poor decisions. All this is not Steve Jobs' fault. Steve is great because he managed to reverse that. Steve had this consumer appliance approach from the beginning (1984) but was ousted. Will Apple's success last? Maybe not. I just hope they keep enough of a niche market so that an alternative is available for the sake of plurality. One may be tempted to impose uniformity for the sake of efficiency, but without plurality, you loose a great deal of creativity. I'd encourage anyone with an open mind to read at least the last part of the Fortune interview of Steve Jobs, I find it the most interesting part: pathfinder.com "Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service" Bear in mind that Steve is interested in selling consumer products. His ideals, which I share, may risk being counter-productive in a business environment, although this is debatable. By the way, thanks for the heads up to the guy who mentioned the Fortune article, I would have missed it otherwise. Great reading!
