This anti apple rhetoric was fine 10 years ago, but it isn't any more. Things have changed massively, the apple now is not the apple then, get with the times and acknowledge that apple is now a worthy alternative to the windows environment in regards to a number of commercial, educational and personal applications. Let alone their domination of the mp3 player market, success in smart phones and domination of the music digital distribution scene.

smartphones?

apple is even behing window mobile and they don't even have 3% of the smartphone market share

nokia owns around 50% by itself with over 80 millions smartphones each.

 

So what if they don't have 3% of the market? They're the same in the pc arena, they're never going to have the majority market share, that doesn't stop them from being hugely profitable and an innovative business. Anyone can pick on a business's less successful innovations but that doesn't change anything. Apple is a business thats successfully diversified into multiple industries that people didn't think a computer company ever would have entered into and have been profitible, whilst also increasing the popularity of their core product. You might not like their products but ones personal perspective doesn't tell the whole story. The apple of the last 10 years has been a success, and an ever increasing amount of people are willing to spend their hard earned on them.
