The Netbook market is a shadow of its former self, so no, you don't win that point. But I'll concede the MacBook Air thing, partly, only because they did have to lower the price significantly before it really took off. Actually, though, the MacBook Air was doing fine in '09, and was in fact setting a trend that the rest of the industry has been trying desperately to follow for the past couple of years. And the improvements, including the lower prices, have rendered competitive efforts ineffective. That's one big reason why Mac sales growth has been outpacing the broader PC market.
