I bought my first Intel based PC in 1982. The year or so before that was a free for all with several fairly competitive OS as contenders. When the first IBM PC came out, it had 2 big things going for it 1) It had an IBM name on it, which changed the status from toy(feel guilty about spending the money, can't talk your boss into buying) to business machine (go ahead and buy it, you know you want it) 2) It had a superior screen (green letters on a black background) with twice the resolution of the Apple screen. Within a couple of years or so only Apple and IBM remained. Within another short time span Apple was doomed to be a niche company forever. There is a minimal to no chance that Apple can increase it's market share significantly. I don't think it's clear at this point what market share AMD can capture, butat least there's a chance. Nevertherless, I'm not going to be buying any AMD stock. You're probably tired of us Windows centric folks tending to forget all about Apple.
