ROFL, I don't know where to begin.

How many of those 6 billion people are children and elderly?
How many of them can afford a computer and an mp3 player?
How many of othem know what mp3's are, let alone have access to download/encode it?

How old are you?

Whether Apple has much of a future or not is another story entirely, but this little thing is pure ownage no matter how one slices it. If Apple goes down, then Dell can pwn Jobs. Until then: Jobs 1, Dell 0

Uh, ownage? Not quite. I think it would be closer to something like: Jobs 1, Dell 1,001

As others touched on, once the iPod fad ends, Apple is probably going to be back in trouble . . . yet again.

Plus he was kind of holding the future of Apple(what would become OS X) in his hands.😛

I don't know about y'all, but it seems more and more likely that I will switch to the Apple platform when its time for a new computer...either laptop or desktop. The only thing holding me back is waiting to see what Vista has in store and what PC manufacturers (read: Dell) will push out to take full advantage of the new system. The truth is that there is very little I can't do on a Mac--the big thing being games, but then again I don't play a lot of games anyway.

OSX is good, and i would have gone back to it if there were a Macbook 13". But the main thing is developer support, which it's lacking.

I would buy OS X in a second if it ran on any Intel hardware. I'd consider buying an Intel-based Mac if it could also run Windows.

1. the op could've just linked to the NY Times instead of copying it word for word and not even quoting the source 😛

2. Um...look at personal wealth....Dell still > Jobs

3. let's see that stock price fall when people realize you can buy the exact same guts for half the price.

4. as someone else already mentioned, when (notice I use when not if) Dell start selling AMD based computers, you can say goodbye to Apple. Not to mention, dell already sells system with linux installed...YOU DON"T have to buy dells with just XP, you can have linux if you want...and we all know you can pretty much make linux have the apple aqua interface if you want....for free 😉

5. again as someone else already mentioned, apple is all pure marketing. they can't even compare to dell when it comes to the server market. when they have a respectable server line, then talk to dell. It's like the dot com bubble burst, when people realize apple really don't offer that much as a company, their stock will fall.

6. dell is becoming a one stop shop for electronics, they're heading into home entertainment..that's where the real money is at. apple isn't any where near that arena, who cares about a piece of sh1t little ipod when you can watch the superbowl on a 50" Dell plasma display.....right.... 😀

7. Dell eleventy billion, apple 1

😛

most of their sales are actually from ipods n such
their computer department is hurting relative to dell's in terms of total sales etc.

and the whole "now 4x faster and 2x faster" is ****** b/c the benchmarks were optimized specifically for the new intel chips.....go marketing gimmicks *rolls eyes*

The only thing that has saved Apple is the Ipod. Previously to it, they even needed Gates money to stay afloat.

Anyone who can con Bill Gates' money to further his own goals should be considered brilliant; well, he is.

Would Gates give Jobs the money knowing what he knows now? Not a chance.

When the money deal happened, die-hard Apple fans hated Jobs for making a pack with the "enemy", they now reminisce with smirks.
