Newsday article laments the potential loss of Apple as a competitor. Even though it is doesn't give a very positive spin on Apple's current state, it is more fair than other media reports we're used to. And it does speak to the Wintel advocates who don't seem to mind the possibility of monopoly on their desktop: "Apple was positioned to change the landscape for billions. Now that opportunity has faded, seized instead by Microsoft and "Intel-Inside" PCs. But even if the outcome is a foregone conclusion, even if Apple has already faded from relevance, it is critical that we not underestimate the extraordinarily high price of the company's failure. Apple's decline has left a stultifying lack of competition and market pressure for the Microsoft-Intel juggernaut. Today's desktop computers are vastly inferior to the computers that likely would have proliferated had Apple not fumbled so badly."
