Apple wouldn't want Microsoft to cut prices. Not sure why you said we thought they would. Apple on the other hand wants people to THINK Apples prices are cheaper even though we both know that is NOT the case.

Why would I say "we thought they would?" Oh, it might just be because that is exactly what Ed Bott said and you said you agree with:

Bott's summation: "Apple’s $29 pricing decision is a clever one. They’re counting on gullible reporters and analysts to make oversimplified comparisons with Windows 7, and they’re hoping to goad Ballmer and Company into reacting with a slashed price of their own. If Microsoft is smart, they won’t take the bait."

Blue Highway's assertion: I think Ed Bott summed up his article well with these last 2 paragraphs. I happen to agree with him and don't see how you can spin it any other way Swordmaker. Knowing you though, you can't help it and you will try to spin it anyways.

Looks, waddles, and quacks... it's a duck. YOU said you agreed. Ergo, both you and Bott think that Apple was wanting Microsoft to slash prices.

Yes, I agreed with his summation that Apple's pricing scheme is a clever one, only I'd go as far as to say it is deceptive.

Is it you are another Mac user that uses the same logic to try to attack a PC user in your following example:

Most Liberals eat carrots. You eat carrots. Ergo, you are a carrot, er, Liberal. Faulty logic.

you are using this same kind of logic you were accusing a PC user of.
