Sure, but the point of the article was the rather startling turnaround in the perception of the MS and Apple brands in the 18-34 demo. Since late winter, Apple's rating has dropped from 70 to 12, and MS's has increased from 0 to 46 (100 means all positive feedback, -100 means all negative, 0 means about even). In other words, in late winter, Apple was ahead 70-0. Now, MS is ahead 46-12. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
