You are missing two major points. 1) In the computer world the ability to control both the hardware and software is what makes Apple great and unique. The whole is greater then its parts and there is no truer an example of this then Apple products - Mac computer hardware plus Mac OS X; and iPod plus iTunes software. To separate the hardware and software would but Apple in the same mess that Microsoft is in with other different Wintel computer/MP3 players manufacturers - compatibility problems and the need to support the common over the superior. 2) By Apple switching to the Intel processor Apple is for the first time directly competing with Microsoft and Dell. Apple hardware is now being directly compared to other Intel computer hardware. With Boot Camp, Window OS on Wintel computers can be direct compared to Window OS on Macintel computer. Also the comparison of Window OS and Mac OS X on the same hardware is not being over looked with the introduction of Boot Camp. So to say that "Apple cannot afford to actually compete head on with the likes of Microsoft and Dell" does not carry water. In other words you need to rethink you the bases for your article because you have lost sight of the reality. <>
