Apple Would Never Accept Dell's Offer

hehehe. Just think. Not Think. And not different. (meaning, not as IBM Think and not Apple's Think Different - from their commercials).

Think as Michael Dell.



This would be different end for Jobs. Recently, as Apple switched to Intel processor, announcing end of POWER powered Macs, everyone were guessing if this means, we'll be able to run OS X on our PCs. And Mike Dell smelled a business case. He said to the press that in case Apple will offer OS X for distribution, they'll sell it for sure.

Never say never; but I'd say this will never happen. Success, not to mention stability etc., of Macs lies also in paranoid jealousy of Apple. They are a HW company. And they have to have total control over HW and SW so that it can be integrated together eliminating most of the problems from chaotic PC market.

This also gives them chance for A LOT higher margins than PC world could even dream about. PC-way of doing business would burry Apple in a year or so.

I'm just waiting for first MAC on Intel, to see what we'll get. Don't get price hopes too low, though. ;-)
