Why should they have to know how something works if it doesn’t effect them? Microsoft doesn’t care if their software works well on a Mac, so why should Apple care the other way??? ---

Microsoft doesn’t care if their software works well on a Mac, so why should Apple care the other way??? because PC’s rule the industry… if they want to be in the same game, they’re gonna open themselfs up to the same kind of vulnerabilities (in some way or another) I don’t believe, at all, that apples are “bulletproof” (atleast, as much as they’d like you to think) and that’s gonna bite them in the ass someday ---

PC have ‘ruled’ he industry since the beginning. It hasn’t stopped Apple from doing business as usual. They have a niche market, and they know it. They are playing MS’s game right back at them - “we make products for Mac, and if you want to use them on PC, do so at your own risk.” ---

well, I guess I’m more so refering to the jabs they’ve been taking at the PC industry lately and their aggressive marketing campaign they’ve been running (not to mention their x86 architecture). It seems to me atleast like their trying to become more mainstream, which in turn will expose them to the same level of risks as any other x86 based OS/platform ---

Apple is stuck in a corner. They have to make the iPod work on a Windows PC or they pretty much lose most of their customers. ---
