Good points... I bet the profit margin on a $130 operating system on
millions of PCs is better than the margin on thousands of Macs. This was
Apple's fatal flaw when Microsoft took over the market. I know it's a risk,
but Steve has an addiction to hardware -- his hardware -- because it looks
so cool (even if it is less powerful). That's where the ego comes in. But,
as you point out, they would want to protect their current investment in
hardware development and keep a good thing going (stay in the black, not
take such a risk). So... you are right. However, my point of ego is still
valid. I love apple, but Steve can be very smug. Alas, this strays further
and further from the focus of the EXS24. I still believe Emagic is innocent
until proven guilty of the CC non-standardization. -Jer
