I just received a copy of Forbes in the mail on Monday. Apple has 2% of the PC market. Heck, their Mac business only did 6.6B last year. If they weren't so greedy for hardware margins they could have over 50% of the PC market. I live in Austin, TX and saw how they royally screwed over Power Computing and I think Apple deserves its anemic market share to go with Jobs's myopic 'vision'.

I live in West Virginia and saw how they royally screwed over American Motors and I think Lamborghini deserves its anemic market share to go with their myopic 'vision'. -restated, with appropriate comparison!

If Apple was selling sub-$500 computers at Wal-Mart, they'd be struggling like HP/Compaq and Gateway/E-machines. If there were Power Computing clones today, Apple would probably have 0.05% marketshare, and Power Computing would have 2% which would have killed both companies.

(If Kerry is the answer, it must be a very stupid question.)
