Which report has *nothing* to do with OS X; its merely a statement of the overwhelming market dominance of iTunes/iTunes Store/IOS in the handheld market, and the long needed euthanization of the Zune. The Zune was a joke from the beginning, a half-hearted MS attempt at being 'Just Like Apple' complete with the requisite MS missteps in marketing, execution and completely not getting it. Let me translate: "Waaah Waaah Waaah Apple won't make it easy for me to get OSX to run on cheap-a** hardware from someone else! I'm too poor/cheap/stubborn to either buy a real Mac or learn how to Hack my own! Waaah! While I'm at it I want Mercedes to sell me a 500sl for the same price as a Yugo! Waaah!" The day you can present a business case for Apple to chop off a good 40-50% of their income in return for supporting 1001 different crappy PC manufacturers and facing an epidemic of pirated copies of OSX, you'll make your point. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
