These comments may not apply to the article but I would like to point out that in countries like India where Windows usage is almost 100 %, Apple has failed to project MAC as an alternative.


I have not seen any advertisement which can help user understand the advantages of MAC over Windows. Technical specifications are hardly made available and I think Apple is a very arrogant company who cares only about rich peole who can spend $1500 (This is what we in India have to pay for a MAC) or more for a MAC system.


When someone thinks of computers in India, he thinks of Windows. Can Apple attract the mass market with low prices ? How much processor and OS power an average person uses on a computer ? Does putting more and more features and power into a system make it better than other ?


NO.


Make it affordable to public, cut the costs, cut upgrade costs, try hard at markets like India, make it a popular application development platform, make OS X run on Intel platform.


I donot want a computer to watch and create only movies. I also want to develop applications on it.


Can Apple do this ? If it does then I will buy a MAC.
