Jeff> Apple can't win back market share without winning back businesses. Apple can't win business when it now losing the battle for the classroom. Like a farmer Apple needs to grow and develop it's own users not try and hope, they might switch. They have mistakenly turned their back on the gaming market and are now sliding in the education market. They need to build from bottom up, not top down. The longer they wait to re-deploy their limited assets the more likely they will fail. Don

Again, Apple can't win back market share without winning back businesses. Jeff, I totally agree. With more than 50% of the business users sitting at their desks all day long doing spreadsheets, word processing or mail, a MAC or Wintel machine would be equally functional. With an equivalent or competitive price, businesses could easily buy and use MAC's. Perception of compatibility may be more the problem than the feasibility. Apple's 1984 commercial portraying IBM as Big Brother is more applicable today except today's Big Brother is MSFT. I wonder if that's going to be Apple's message in 2004.
