To: Mr. Right Now
Apple loves having 5% of the market.
Especially when it's the top-end 5% of the entire PC market, not just of the PC operating system software market.
Jobs is a numbskull.
The market capitalization of AAPL, $186.1 Billion, says otherwise.

Looks like all of you did an excellent job of explaining to Mr. Right why Apple is doing fine. I don’t agree with every aspect of their marketing plan, but I can’t deny they make excellent products and are extremely profitable.

Apple hardware and software is integrated to work very well together. Windows, on the other hand, is designed to work on a wide variety of platforms and pays a price for that.

I just wish Apple would use some of its profits to pay developers to port more best selling games to OS X. Games are pretty much the only reason I ever willingly run Windows. I’m not even a heavy gamer, but I’m forced to use a Boot Camp partition when I’d much rather stay in OS X.
