Hot damn...Apple makes an iCheap!

...and an iPod cheap too

And they're starting to encroach on MS Office's turf more too.. Last year it was a PowerPoint replacement (done better) and an Explorer replacement (done better). This year it's a Word replacement (done better). Anyone want to be there's an Excel replacement waiting? And of course, they already have an Access replacement (sort of) in FileMaker. I think this is Steve Jobs saying to Bill Gates "don't thing you can hold Office over our head...we've got a replacement for your crappy Office stuff now."

And Windows Server's turn

Hell, and Cray's turf with all the K's of Xserve's being clustered these days!

Steve's doing a stealth-end-run around Microsoft in the business market. Cheap servers and cheap clients. Cheap server OS's. And if all else fails, an Intel version of OS X is a few compiler-switch settings away, remember. If MS does ever kill Apple (not likely) then all Steve has to do is open source the REST of OS X (the part other than Darwin, i.e. the GUI) and make it available for Intel hardware....and watch all of Microsoft's market share (and Linux too) run (not walk) to OS X!

Heh.
