How Apple's Market Share Will Propel Stock to $500, Part 1

Easy to get off the point here, MS sell an Operating System, not a particularly good one, the latest iteration requires users to reinstall everything what a great time to switch to a Mac.
With Apple it's all about an experience and a loyalty that no other manufacturer generates. I am 71 years old and have had Macs since 1987, I have never had a PC so they are still a mystery to me, I have converted all of my family and we are connected worldwide through iChat, I live in Hong Kong and can see my grandchildren in two other countries any time I want to. I am sure this can be done with PCs but not as easily, I have anecdotal evidence of this from many of my frustrated friends.
I was in the iPhone service centre today (the first time I have ever sought service for an Apple product) the camera on my wife's phone ceased to function. Whilst there a grey haired gentleman and a younger man came in, they were father and son, both had iPhones dad was carrying a MacBook pro 15in and his son had a MacBook Pro 13in, it was fun to watch them and share their joy in all things Apple.
This is what Steve has done he has created a community of people who whatever the circumstances will continue to buy the products he develops and builds, if ever there was proof of this then this years performance was it.
When MS start to build computers and not just suspect software I will give them some thought but until then I'll go with the Jobster.
Others make things cheaper, Apple makes things better.
