Unfortunately there are fan-boys like that on both sides (LordSlag is a decent example of that).

The main reason Apple has such a poor market share isn't due to its product sucking. It's based on how well they penetrated the business market and how they kept tight control over their OS. Microsoft was smart in letting other companies build PC's for them. That gave them a great advantage in hardware and price, but poor stability, which is why Apple has the highest customer satisfaction.

Quite right.

I have a Mac and a PC, and I like both OSs.

SHOCK HORROR.

What I am wondering is why there is only one employee in the Apple Store. There should be 7 or 8 asking him if he needs anything (it is a recession so it cannot be 10-15). My friend once counted 25 and on another day I counted 23. At least in this part of the USA anyway...

if everybody was such a fanboy, I would go back to PC

But There normal Mac users too. ^^

Apple computer is 34 years old.

>didn't manage to get more than 5% of the computer market.

Someone doesn't understand how basic proportions work. Apple is actually making more than its share in unit sales among hardware manufacturers.

All we know is that Apple is 25 years old and still didn't manage to get more than 5% of the computer market. Obviously computer users are interested in more than just a flashy looking machine and OS.

>The iPhone really didn't pickup momentum until native applications were allowed to be developed for it and a viable distribution channel was setup

And... There's no native third party app development on the Macintosh platform?

>While the iPhone is very much controlled by Apple, they actually learned from their mistakes of the Mac.

Elaborate.

>dropped the expletives.

You're joking right?

Those are the fun part.

Apple has not made it easy. Compare the app dev and release process for the iPhone and the Android. The Apple developer fees are higher than necessary and the review process is too long.

And if you think hardware doesn't play a part in smartphone design, you've had your head under a rock. Look at the number of different architectures running Android right now. Screen sizes, processors, cameras, all different. Apple, on the other hand, has one, just like their other products.
