<<it's still unproven if Apple can gain market shares against the dominant Windows platform.>>

It's like that scene from Steven King's "Stand By Me" when all the bullys were being held at bay by the little kid with the .45 who was the movie's hero.

"You can't shoot all of us you little f@%!" To which he replied, "I'm not going to shoot all of you. Just You." He said to the gang's leader.

Likewise Apple does not have to gain market share from the whole Windows industry. They just have to surpass One or two of the major PC manufacturer's to prove they are better.

Recently Apple moved from 9th position to number five in the Top 25 Computer Manufacturers surpassing Gateway and Hewlett Packard.

Can you imagine all the PC bullies on the playground pushing around Gateway and HP? You let APPLE beat you!!!? Wimp! Wimp! Wimp! What a bunch of Wussies!

I think that would make a nice commercial. Apple represented by a cute little red-haired schoolgirl. Gateway and HP by big unruly and overweight school thugs. Think Different!
