Via AP:"Apple Computer Inc.'s popular iTunes Music Store appeared to be back to normal Thursday, two days after shoppers wielding new iPods and gift cards faced error messages and long delays while trying to download songs.Apple officials didn't return telephone calls Thursday and the company has not explained why some shoppers on Monday and Tuesday experienced 20-minute delays to download a song."Did I miss this being posted at here earlier in the week? Seems the inability of the iTunes store to perform properly during a perfectly-predictable surge would garner a little interest h-- ohwaitaminnit... I forgot - Apple *never* does anything wrong!

I'm having a hard time believing you can't count.If overall computer sales are going up, and Apple and Unix market share (ie; share of those sales) are going up then sheer math says something else must be going down, unless added market share percentages can somehow total more than 100%."If Apple is growning by 5% each year, and Linux by 3%, but the entire market is growing by 10%, "That is not market share then, that's overall growth. Apple and Unix market share has gone up; and that's a percentage of the overall sales of computers. Ergo, less sales for MS.

@ bmartinThe whole "Vista DRM" thing is complete bulls**t. Question: How many PCs can you install a single, licensed copy of OSX on?Answer: Zero. OSX will only run on Macs, because of the EFI and the DRM in the TPM that the EFI relies on.Because of DRM, OSX will not run on the hardware that makes up 95%+ of the market. It sounds to me like Apple's DRM, as usual, is more restrictive.
