All of this about the Ipod/HP duo, twigged my memory about something I read last week. This is very OT btw, but the tie between HP and Apple may be the tip of the wedge in some new relationships in the Apple/PC world. It started with this article:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1340996/posts

which speaks of the author's impression that microsoft is rotting. Since Apple obviously isn't, given the success of the Mini, the Ipod and Itunes and OS X, then maybe some former PC partners may be jumping ship. Longhorn is very delayed. OS X just keeps getting better and better. Apple hardware is getting cheaper, if the Mini is a trend, so maybe, just maybe Apple is poised to take over the home PC world.

Will we see OS X on PCs? Is there an Apple in everyone (elses) future? One of three computer teams is very dead right now, and under attack from hackers all over the world. The other two, Apple and Linux are doing quite well. Is all of this a sign of things to come? Where the heck is Nostradamus when we need him? I predict that in a year or two, microsoft will be a very different company than it is now and Apple will be a very large player on the world computing stage.
