Macs aren't luxury computers that should have a rarified market space.

It is clear you don't understand the product or its use. It's a niche product with a devout following that produces a slim but effective profit for Apple and its shareholders. The company is a going concern with a profit motive -- just like its competitors.

What sort of economic basis do you have for marginalizing a successful product like this one?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Macs are are a niche product because they don't sell. They're marketed as a generic universal computer, they are NOT a luxury computer period. Comparing them with Hummers and Porsches is just goofy.

The ecomonic basis is clear: they're marketed as standard use desktop computers for the masses and maintain 5 to 7% of the market. They marginalized themselves with crappy marketing. As for how successful they are, which competing OS maker lent them money to survive?

I am continually amazed at the bile that people spew at those who use a dissimilar OS. It's almost as if they are afraid. If you are not part of the Borg, you must be assimilated.
