Points well taken. Regarding your last paragraph. If no other OS competes, I can see Apple and MS coming to blows so to speak. It has to happen. If Apple captures more market, it's going to be at MS's expense. One can laugh at this idea considering the market share MS has but if Apple can sustain a market share greater than 10% or even much higher, it's going to hurt MS.

I work in media, and I have to agree. Disney and AAPL would be a poor mix. Jobs isn't enamored of the deal Pixar got from Disney anyway. Pixar has 2 hits now, and Disney gets the lion's share of the $$$. Disney hasn't had a decent hit since the Lion King, and their fortunes rest more on solid movies than anything else. Oh yeah, and ABC basically sucks (besides my idol - Drew Carey). Disney is lucky to have survived their merger with ABC. It hasn't been a good experience for them so far. ABC employees have dubbed the place "Mouseschwitz" due to Disney's high-handed "we know it all" management. I realize that will offend, but I am merely passing on reliable information. AAPL is better on their own, and tying in with some future performers (SGI, SUNW, ORCL) who are more fitting.
