Sure, it's possible. MS has been taking a few pages out of Apple's playbook recently, all to great tantrums of Appleistas. Page one is "lie, distort and misinform." Considering your reaction, they must be spot-on. > After all this is CIO magazine. They cater to bone heads. I'll keep that in mind the next time they pimp another article on Macs in the enterprise. > Note their story on Apple's 2nd quarter 12% gain (while the industry slumped > 3%) is not attributed to anything Apple did: "But I don't know how much of > this is Apple's doing.

I think it's as likely that your interpreation is as much horse shit as theirs. Reality is rarely that simple. Maybe it has something to do with Apple timing the release of the new iPhone to come at the end of 2Q and not the begniing of 3Q as they did the last time. This front-loads the iPhone numbers and makes the quarter look plumper than it would have otherwise. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
