  ***NOTE*** this is a person expressing this opinion not Apple!!!

  The un-informed masses buying windows instead of a Mac could be a problem.
The qualities of a Macintosh over a DOS machine are hard to demonstrate to
a user concerned about price, and with most sales people's everlasting
concern for the Customer's well being, well you can figure out the rest....

  My only question is with the typical non-computer person buying a Window's
machine, becoming upset since it doesn't appear to be all that "great".  What
will they think of the Macintosh, after all they've heard its the same.

  Window's running on cheap underpowered clones might do more to damage the
computer industries strides in getting people over computer phobia than 
DOS ever did....

  Just random thoughts from a happy Macintosh owner... remember this is just
me speaking, and the opinion above does not express any policy, opinion, or
public statement on Apple's part.
