Apple strategy
Let me connect some points:
1) Apple has a beautiful OS and diehard fans. There numbers are miniscule.
2) Ipod 'windows' the mp3 market. (It does this not because of lack of choice but with elegant design)
3) Itunes is the largest online music library.
4) Home entertainment is set to pick up, with PC centric digitalization moving to TV centric digitalization. (The underlying theme for this change is having fun)
5) Apple has unveiled its plans to place it's box besides the TV, with a remote.
6) From desktop, people are moving online. Google /yahoo are driving this.
7) Google/Yahoo go for communities. Especially young people.
8) youths gather around music/fun. Youths love Ipod-apple.
Apple does bootcamp to run windows on Mac upon intel platforms
Apple no longer fears $icrosoft on this, because the context of battle has changed.
$icrosoft kept users because of office/hw-interoperability/cost.
But when most people already own one-or more PC, they won't prefer that PC to sit besides the TV as fun-box. Instead it has to be as cool as Ipod.
Apple need not even worry about the Xbox effect.
The more mkt-ing pushes it as game-box. The more it looses charm as apple-killer. (It could be Sony-killer though).
$icrosoft understands the move towards online application and towards that fun box. As always it would try to do something which is little bit of both.
Since the market for both these are in nascent-stage, it stops it's release of vista. (My take, vista is not delayed not because of things-to-do, but rather because need-to-know-what-to-do. By the way, this way designing 4 years in advance and then developing is outdated)
It would be intresting to see how little-bit-both works.
Apple choice is tricky,it seems. But Steve jobs is a master at it.
From a-million different mp3 solution he pulled out a Ipod-trick. This is though easier in comparison.
Apple has now chance to become the gadget of choice in living room. A million companies crowd there products there. Most of them adding no value, rather just pricking on competitors limitations.
Another Trick unfolds. Have Fun .
