One more thing about the Mac as a [BMW]

Macwriter.net: "I moved to the Mac platform in 2002 with the full realization that I would be cutting myself off from a lot of cutting-edge software. With the exception of Apple's own excellent applications, by and large you do not get your typical software developer's best efforts on the Mac platform. Especially the big guns. I knew that then, I know it know. I accept it ... To see fellow Mac enthusiasts buy into this complacent notion that we don't need to worry about marketshare because BMW doesn't have to worry about marketshare is disheartening to say the least ... Apple as BMW is a dangerously alluring prospect, but dangerous nonetheless. It invites one to be content with the status quo. Do you buy all of Steve Job's products? Don't buy all of his words either. He's the CEO of a publicly-traded, multinational corporation, and as such, your salt should already be on the table."
