If only Apple can make progress in countries like China and India. Just imagine the potential for years and years to come :)) The people here can pirate the software all they want, but they'll still have to shell out for the hardware, which is where the $$$ is. I think Apple seriously ought to consider opening a flagship store in Shanghai in the next year or so (perhaps to coincide with the launch of the iPhone in Asia) if only to establish a presence and increase visibility. Carefully position the brand to make it as desirable as, say, Dior, Chanel or LV. Let Dell and Lenovo kill themselves trying to impress the hoi polloi with everyday low, low prices. Apple should aim straight for the wallets of the nouveau riches. -we-

Doren, you are exactly right about the whole tech world being very ignorant when it comes to Mac potential. We have been stranded with PC design and IE reliance. With Parallels and VM Ware, the other 95% of the PC market is not open for business. Companies could run Macs all day, and open Windows for dedicated functions when they were appropriate. It's pretty cool to see all the VM Ware and Parallels open up Pandora's box for Mac and Windows coexistence.
