So your FSLR target of $900 is retracted?

It kind of pisses me off that Apple is sandbagging these numbers. $1.4 billion in reserved cash from iPhone sales is a total joke. They will have over $2 billion in reserved cash after the 2nd quarter from the iPhone, with over $20 billion in excess cash. Their excuse for preserving a strong balance sheet to keep cash for acquisitions is an absolute joke. Why would they ever make an acquisition when they have all the software and stuff at their own disposal?

As for the Apple making it in the IT world, they need to develop some web browsers that work on IE websites.

i agree with you that vista was/is an unmitigated disaster...frankly it was vista that pushed me across the line to purchase my macbook in 2006, but it was not without its hassles...

i still have to use windows (via bootcamp) for my trading program, can't imagine what a hassle that would be retooling the operating systems for a small to midsize company on that score, i think that pretty much evens out the TCO (iow, the devil you know...)
