>>Huh? Windows pre-installed? Dell's price points? I sense a red herring. Or, are you addressing sinclap again? ... No matter. ... I'm in total agreement with Steve Jobs on maintaining high margins and high quality. I haven't suggested any action that would lead to diluting the brand with low quality product, nor would I. I learned a long time ago that in retail, you have to offer product at multiple price points to maximize return. Apple has been doing that very well with the iMac, but not so much with the Mac Pro and the Mini. Rather than suggest a multi Mini approach, or more Mac Pros, I merely suggest a couple of new form factors; one above the iMac and the other below it or below the Mini. I don't know how much plainer I can put it. Windows pre-installed... Where do you get this stuff?<< HV - Maybe I read too much into your statement about Apple's missing 90% of the market. My point is simply that Apple intentionally targets a subset of the market, and, I believe, is well served as a company by keeping their growth slow and steady. I don't disagree with your idea that they might be able to offer a couple of different form factors to fill in those gaps. - Allen
