I meant a decline in desktop sales but an increase in laptop sales. Desktops are 10% of computer sales. Laptops a lot more.

I used to use a desktop, I now use a laptop. I have a big powerful Mac Pro upstairs for music composition, but it's not a normal every day task for the masses.

OS synergy won't ever exist, there are too many patents to infringe.

I hate to say it but if Apple wants to supplant the Wintel box they need to lower their prices a lot.

Apple know that the desktop isn't worth trying to win, mobiles and consumer electronics are where it's at.

Winning the desktop requires lots of dull stuffy business apps.

Same here (except it's a big powerful PC - my Mac is a rather weedy Mini). But I'm thinking of computers in offices. Certainly laptops are used there also, but there is - and alway will be - a huge market for machines with proper keyboards and screens.

I couldn't agree more. That's why I expect, and see, more innovations in the OSs used in that market than in OS X. Apple are very sensible to avoid that particular fight.

Don't forget that corporates want lowest price for IT equipment, and bulk ordering. Apple aren't interested in bulk supply (especially in the UK) they want to be the Rolls Royce instead of the Fiesta of computing

The trouble with that is... look what happened to Rolls Royce

Could of all been compressed into a 10.6.7 release

I've never been able to work out what constitutes a first or second decimal point release... except that first point releases usually kill my screensaver

Me neither, but knowing Apple it will involve a long diligent process... and possibly a couple FoxConn suicides.
