They may be slowly losing the education market, but they aren’t dead yet. It does what it wants when it wants, if it is destined to die, then it won’t be until like 2015 at the earliest, not tomorrow.Īpple has been keeping a steady flow of profit margins vs. None of these Operating Systems will be dying in 2003. Ok, I have to say that this is pretty silly. They have a more direct business model, one that affords them 100% of everything that they sell. Apple just sells them from their Apple-owned stores or. After all, it doesn’t matter how many they sell, because Apple is making a profit off of every Mac anyway, as opposed to the PC makers where they have to buy them in packs of 100 and sell them all, etc. They are losing their grip on education and graphic design, and I think they should try to reclaim those fields, but those are not nearly as profitable and as lucrative as the home market. And that is really what they need: home users. If Apple could just have an entry-level system for $1000 (and I mean iMac, we want flat screen), rather than the $1200 for the cheapest iMac, I can assure you that more small offices and home users would start buying.

And, I still prefer AOL’s client becuase it supports many features Gaim doesn’t and probably won’t for a while/ever, such as voice chat. – Even though its still in alpha, it’s still been released to the public. Release of GAIM for Windows – it’s already out for windows, buddy. Bundled VPN Connection Wizard – no commentĢ. The guy that wrote the Linux section of that article (Jim Lynch) is an IDIOT.ġ.
