I attended the Linspire-sponsored Linux Desktop Summit last week, where the discussion included reasons the folks who build PCs don't want to do Linux. Indeed, some of the commentary at the event related to Microsoft and its vulnerability when it comes to large business and government accounts. There was also a lot of discussion about what Linux should become, with some of the most interesting commentary coming from Geoffrey Moore, author of "Crossing the Chasm."

I don't think it's quite fair to say Apple needs to back out of the computer industry if it doesn't double its market share in the near future. As Apple's two-decade history shows, market share has never been a major concern. Despite the fact that Apple computers make up a small percentage of computers in the world, it is well-known that Apple users are extremely faithful to their Macintosh. Apple is still extremely important in many fields, from graphic design to film-making. Bottom line: even though Apple isn't popular among regular consumers, it still appeals to many "artsy" people who rely on them and has a strong (albeit small) base of fans. In my opinion, Apple's demise is far from realistic.
