The way I add it up: By lowering hardware prices, Apple is making the Mac more attractive to switchers. By raising software prices and adding the .Mac service business, the company is making up for lost hardware revenue. And with its new and improved iApps, Apple is preparing for life without Microsoft. I presume those tools will come bundled with new computers which also is an incentive for a hardware upgrade (i.e. should I pay $200 to upgrade the OS and tools on my current shuttle nose iMac, or should I fork out the an extra $900 and buy a new eMac?)
