@SpectreGTAny information to back up that little claim?This article claims <a class="user" href="http://blogs.business2.com/apple/2007/05/apple_laptops_g.html">http://blogs.business2.com/apple/2007/05/apple_laptops_g.html</a> that they sold 10% of total sales in March '07. Perhaps you're confusing it.As for this article. It's totally rubbish. Itunes is popular on windows because iPods are popular. Do you really freaking think people would be using Itunes instead of WMP if their iPod didn't come with iTunes? ...Riiiiight.And as for Safari. Way to go Apple. Let's show the world how much better Apple is by releasing inferior to Microsoft software. Unfortunately for Safari, while it may have some eye candy, I'd use IE7 over it any day. Safari runs like s**t on Windows, isn't secure, hogs memory and crashes frequently. Apple is clearly taking advantage of the situation right? Bundled software and pathetic betas. Good reporting, Forbes.
emjaymj> Apple is a marketing machine, nothing elseApple is certainly a marketing machine, but so is Microsoft. Apple markets heavily to the home consumers while MS markets to large corporations and governments. Both MS and Apple put marketing before engineering. I actually think for many home consumers, apple does have a better system. The question is whether most consumers care enough about their computer to pay for the high end systems that Apple builds. Fopr many, a $300 PC is fine.
