I understand. I have a vested interest in this whole cloud thing, so I
was real interested to hear that Apple might have published a principle
embracing cloud support in everything they do.
I agree that Apple won't be dropping Windows support any time soon, but
as you've said, fewer and fewer people are using their iDevices with
their computers, so I really doubt they'd lose 80% of their market if
they were to drop Windows support. I've said before, more and more
people will be making their home computer / laptop decisions based on
how they fit into the rest of their lives. They won't be buying devices
to work with their computers as much but rather buying computers that
work with all of their devices. I can certainly see Apple, and I'd be
surprised if they aren't preparing for it now, dropping Windows support
and marketing Macs as the machine to get if you want it to work with
your Apple TV's, iDevices and so on.

Hi Chris,
Principle is maybe not quite the right word, but Apple certainly emphasizes
the fact that you never have to connect your iDevice to a computer (Mac or
PC) if you don't want because there are some customers who just want a
device for email, web browsing etc. who can happily use an iPad or iPhone
without the need for a computer.
However, as long as Apple supports iTunes support for Windows will not drop.
Mac's may have gained market share and I don't know the exact numbers, but
there are still 8 or 9 PC's sold for every Mac and Apple is not cutting out
80% or more of their market by dropping iTunes for Windows support.

Subject: Re: IOS7 will it upgrade via wifi or iTunes
I'm curious. Where did you hear that Apple had such a principle? I always
figured Apple was just implementing features leveraging the cloud for the
convenience of sharing content across multiple devices and avoiding the
inconvenience of having to connect your device to a computer. I also figured
it was part of their long term plan to drop iTunes support for Windows and
not adversely impact their device sales.
I'd be interested though in knowing more about this Apple principle though
and how they documented it and rolled it out.
