He sells the concept so well, I want to buy a NeXT computer even though this "keynote" was made 20 years ago.

@pcuimac The market prefers the best product *as defined by customers*. This can mean "features" that are important to customers (like application compatibility) or cost (if something costs more than the value you'll derive from it, you won't buy it). By this means, the market provides a range of products that fit customers' individual needs and desires. Depending on how closely *your* needs and desires track to the population at large determines how satisfied you'll be with available products.

The custom app was what he was because his (practically non-existant) installed base had no software to use - in ANY market (even desktop publishing, which was taking off at the time, ignored it - with the exception of Adobe Illustrator) . So he was selling them to markets that needed custom app development, which were mostly government agencies and Universities.

I am happy MAC growth is faster than PCs (something that would have happened long ago)

Hey! He looks like Chandler!!
is that why Microsoft was using him-chandler- in their ads few years back?
Funny how workstations (as a distinct market segment, not just beefy desktops) became largely irrelevant once desktop hardware rode Moore's Law and desktop OSs matured.

This seems to be happening already. There're macs like the mac mini, and iMAc, macbook, which are just as cheap as PCs. Also apple is bridging the gap between PCs and Mac with intel chips and the ability to run windows in Macs. For these reasons I've switched back to using Macs, especially with how disppointing Vista was. But windows 7 on the other hand...... the game's getting interesting again.
Apple seems to be busy with the telecommunications and music industry which is helping Mac too...
