every operating system will have issues of some kind. besides, i don't think apple is in any position to be knocking anybody for the current state of OS 10.

Who cares?
Apple has less than 3% of the market.

Apple has almost 10% of the market. That will change, though, with the release of Windows 7. Either way, the Mac vs. PC ads have never told me why I should buy a Mac, they just bash Windows. The only Apple ads I liked were the unibody Macbook ads because they actually told me about the product.

Apple just might be on their way to becoming a device company rather than a computer company.

If it wasn't for the ipod they would have folded a long time ago.

Even in cyberspace, the moment can only be described as surreal. Two thousand Apple computer loyalists greet the return of their hero and Apple co-founder, Steven Jobs, at a Boston trade show, only to gasp as the looming picture of Apple's archenemy, Bill Gates of Microsoft, appears on a huge on-stage screen. It was Mr. Gates, after all, who copied Apple's visionary point-and-click system of computer commands, marketed it far more aggressively and successfully, and drove Apple to near-collapse.

Mr. Gates and Mr. Jobs announced that Microsoft would inject more than $150 million into Apple and take other steps to guarantee Apple's near-term survival. Some Apple zealots in the audience hooted. Others sighed in relief. Virtually all were surprised and confused. Even in cyberspace it is odd for one company to bail out its only rival in a key area of business. Between them, Microsoft and Apple sell the operating systems, which dictate how computers analyze and display information, that run virtually every personal computer.
