They do have nice looking machines. Their packaging is 5-star. They have extremely good eye-candy and I wont say that that's where it ends... the machines do work, I am not trying to say they dont.. Heck, I go into an Apple Store whenever I pass by one. Why? Because they have nice looking stuff, their stores are always friendly and I do wish I could afford one - but the store is the only place I seem to be able to afford one.
Look, my wife is an artist and photographer and even she wont justify the costs. She can do anything she needs to on her old single-core PC, circa 2005. It just doesnt make financial sense to care about the "image", is what I am trying to say - though you're point about the "image" is dead on target. And so there is a limited market for that image. Until they realize there are potentially millions of "me's" out here, they're always going to be that low market share, nice looking product company. But, maybe they want it that way. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
