    Asher, give it a rest. You have better things to do, right?
    I most certainly do not. It's a wednesday night in the middle of the week, and I've got the entire week off of school.

    This is great for amusement value. It's like arguing with Creationists.

        MS doesn't really innovate as much as they could. That's because they behaved like a monopoly and could care more about themselves than their customers.

        You know, Apple started behaving this way after Steve Jobs left the company long ago. This led to Apple's downfall. Seems MS acts the same way and will soon suffer the same fate. Oh well. What comes around goes around.

        Remind me again which company forced clone makers out of business?
        When a company has such a small marketshare it can't afford such competition. When Apple grows to like 10-15% marketshare again, then they might be able to afford some competition in the Mac market, and that in turn should lead to lower prices and even higher innovation.

          Hey! Here's an idea...perhaps the marketshare continues to shrink because people realize there's no competition in the market, and stay away because of the insane prices?

            I aready argued that prices are coming down rapidly on the Mac lineup.

            Oh and btw. Did you hear the latest news? The iPod is the #1 MP3 player on the market by a landslide despite the prices. Duh. Go figure.

                Last I heard Apple had 33% of the market for MP3 players...

                Link this, please.

                Oh, let me guess -- this is some obscure figure from a Mac fansite which counts the 100,000 preorders as one-day sales, and then a quick Apple PR release saying it's the #1 on the market by a landslide that day?

                    Nice sarcasm. Just like my sarcastic remark.

                      He was showcasing your stupidity, which was once again made worse by this most recent reply of yours.

                        Asher, here's an idea: Go to sleep so you could have more energy tomorrow?

                        You blatantly contradicted yourself, that's what.

                            Anywayz, it's the other way around. Behaving like a monopoly may make a company rich in the short-run, but in the long run it leads to downfall, so no, this is not a good "money-making" way to do bizness.

                              Apple behaves more like a monopoly than MS does. The only difference is, while most people are stupid, they're not stupid enough to be locked into a Mac.

                              Apple has monopolistic control over its software, hardware, and sales.

                                Hey, what do you know. More idiotic arguements from you that I've already contradicted.

                                If I make serious reply to this, you will see what I mean by you making these debates go around in circles.
