So their national primetime TV advertising campaigns are designed to do what if not to tell products? Do you believe that with proper advertising OS X would gain market share?

baggss said:Apple is a company, but with a bit of a twist. While they would willingly sell computers to anyone and everyone I don't think their goal is to become market dominant or supplant MS. I think Steve is still a Hippy at heart and the goal is still to "Make a dent in the Universe", not own it. Much of that shows in the styling and marketing of Apples products including the new ads.

baggss said:Actually, Apple is selling more Macs because of those "Dancing iPods"....
Likewise, purely for the sake of playing devil's advocate:lil said:and rather work from the standpoint that the Mac is different, interoperable but should be justified and judged upon its own merits
No clearly not, but personally as far as I can see this is verging on more extreme?lil said:Oh and there is nothing new about Apple's Mac advertising being mostly about putting the boot into IBM/Microsoft.
