Jim, yes quite muddled. It almost seems that the high end boys are giving up in the face of IA-64. My conclusions stem from my belief that Microsoft and Apple are not competitors. Apple competes with the Wintel boxmakers, especially all those below the top five as any percent gain by Apple is out of their hide. Apple also competes with Intel, although I'm not sure Intel doesn't view it as good anti-monopoly insurance. But Microsoft makes it's money from apps and I don't think a loss of OS in the 4-6% range means much too them. Here is the Filemaker/100% Java article. It appears to be for both Intel and Mac versions.
