Re: "And for those people who think that Wintel is somehow going to be overtaken by Next/UNIX systems with Apple leading the way, are living in a vacuum. Wintel PCs dominate the mainstream business world. The investment is huge. "
The argument cuts both ways. Wintel has also found it very difficult to enter DTP, education, university, high end financial and gov't (mac, o2, and unix) markets served by AAPL, SGI, Sun, IBM, DEC, and Oracle.
And per my previous post, the NC, cost, and intranet are causing big business to question blind faith to NT. In any case, I agree that Apple will be a bit player over next 2 years in the big business mkt i.e. that where MS Office is standard and there are legacy /bloated data centers which which encourage the DOS world. Look to others to fight here.
