Microsoft's Windows Is a Glacier That Won't Melt Fast

Yes, the melt may be slow, meaning a long, slow death for MS shareholders. But that fact is that every convert that goes from MS to Apple is a much larger % gain than it is a % loss for MS. Meaning that while MS shareholders are in for a protracted decline, Apple shareholders are poised for immediate growth

Consumers Will Continue to Buy Apple's Fashionable Gadgets

its true that Apple has no where to go but up, even in a recession, and here’s why: Microsoft’s windows, and HP, Dell, and the like’s, require new sales to grow. Apple’s focus is conversion, which means all current PC owners are potential new customers. And the osmotic (?real word?) pressure between them is such that every one percent decline in Windows marketshare is a huge percentage increase for apple. So they will double many more times if they are able to continue this ride for the next decade

Apple, Not Amazon, Should Purchase Netflix

I think they should just partner with Netflix or Blockbuster and use aTV as a portal to that content, the same as it is with You Tube. If aTV could navigate and purchase from one or more of them, even amazon and vongo, then aTV customers would have the benefit of those companies competing with one another which would make aTV incredibly attractive. I think Apple could even get those companies to pay for access to Apple customers through iTunes, with the iPod base alone being worth it, let alone the potential for aTV customers.
