iPhone is selling in huge volumes, Apple would be crazy to not give it
some effort.

iPad is the new big thing - Apple has to do the release of it properly.

iTunes gets about the effort it deserves - which quite frankly is not
that much from the Hardware R&D teams.

You really think the Mac hardware teams have stopped working and
run down to the iPad department to lend a hand?

I keep hearing people on these blogs whinging about how Mac users
are locked in, now claiming that Mac users aren't and that's why Apple
is ignoring them, again, you clearly have no clue.

Installing Windows on a Mac does not result very often in more than
dual-boot or paralllel boot. (such as I am doing)

Windows is still crap - and although some software is Windows only,
and sometimes I run windows for the very few programs that need it,
I would be just plain stupid to stop using OS X in favour of Windows.

And yes, I have worked extensively in both, and do support for both,
so I am familiar with both, WIndows is Crap, it is annoying, it wastes
my time and the time of everyone I know that uses it. It wastes
processing power, it wastes money.

So you go on believing that Mac users will switch to Windows and
Apple will stop trying to sell Macs if it lets you feel better about your
world. It is a delusion though.

So far we have people claiming they have had PCs with chips before
they were released, claims of lack of sales, and claims of lock-in, do
you think somebody out there wants to stop Apple from succeeding?

Misinformation is great isn't it!
