Windows and Unix take up the vast majority of business applications. Comparing Windows and Apples stock price together is a moot point. Apple a month or so ago overtook Exxon for the largest market cap for all of about half an hour. Does that mean Apple is a larger company than exxon? I would hope that is not what it means seeing Exxon has a revenue stream something like 4 or 5 times what apples is. What is a really shame here is a young man dying of cancer.... again. 56 is an age I hope to make it past by a few dozen years, but with a family history of cancer all is up in the air. This just goes to show that life is short no matter who you are or what you have accomplished, and more so there is never enough time. So be happy and enjoy every day... and keep fish  |
Well said indeed.
Im not comparing stock for that reason. I am mearly saying that for a company to go from chapter 11 to raise their stock to that of 10+ times their competition in a few years that should say a lot about their porduct and bussiness ethics.
They dont have a huge piece in the business world as of yet. They are huge in graffic design, and will be a big player in the business world in time. You are seeing more and more macs in that end of the world as their products become more friendly for business owener's.
