eWeek's Joe Wilcox enlightens us on Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's latest comments on Apple from McGraw-Hill's 2009 Media Summit in New York.

Apple gained about one point, but now I think the tide has really turned back the other direction. The economy is helpful. Paying an extra $500 for a computer in this environment—same piece of hardware—paying $500 more to get a logo on it? I think that's a more challenging proposition for the average person than it used to be.

    • Agreed, although $500 isn't all it costs

      You also get an easily exploited system with zero security. :\
