Of course Apple is mainly interested in bigger profits. They're a business.
First and foremost. As is IBM and all the rest. As I see it, their number
one goal is to make more money and the bigger their market slice is, the
bigger their profits (theoretically). I found it very amusing that shortly
after Apple announced the Mac II (the first "open" Mac), IBM announced
the PS/2 Model 25--a PC in a one piece suit and virtually closed, just
like the original Mac. Maybe Apple should sue them for that as well! :-)
