I think it is the cognitive shift where I still view it as PC versus Mac to a large extent. In that arena, I don't think they are dominating nearly as well as you'd portray. Now, Apple versus other computer companies? Yeah, they are dominating there at a ridiculous rate. Hell, Apple versus any other company. It is scary to think their best competitor in some ways is Amazon. So, I think I am actually more open to "Apple is winning the war." I still sometimes read that as "Macs are winning the war," though. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
