I think Bill has missed a little something here.
He's thinking Apple is the enemy. By not allowing apple products into his house. I think he needs to milk Apple for what it's worth.
Bootcamp exists for the simple reason Apple users have a need for his OS. Sure it's not the switcher market. But people who buy both OS's is more sales for his company.
And how this relates to the ipod. Is it's clear the Zune is not getting major market share. I think he should cut his loses and but the product from his line and stick to what he is good at? . . . . Well what is he good at?
Making OS's and getting the masses to buy them.

That is odd - in the past I have used nothing but Epson printers. Currently I use an HP 3 in 1 and it has given me no problems whatsoever plus the cartridges are much cheaper then Epson.

Mm
The MM is great! It's one of the iconic things that makes it an Apple Mouse.
I have the wireless mighty mouse on my iMac and I love it! It's been pretty much the best mouse I have used!
My crappy Dell mouse at work has back and forward buttons on the side. Our accounting system is web based so if I am in the middle of something and accidently hit the 'back' button it resets the system back to the previous website before I logged in. Grrr!

Is Bill against Apple computers and laptops as well. Even if they were fully set up with bootcamp and Vista/W7?
