This is the same wall street journal who in july printed an article in
front of newpaper (though not on front page) big article about how
apples sales were way down from same quarter previous year.  the next
day or so they printed a retraction in small print way back in the
paper because in fact apples sales were in fact up a bit not down!  

the point being the WSJ is not a credible source of info on apple
computer as they have printed a number of factually misleading articles
in the last few months.  yes there are companies that are changing to
wintel, there are also a lot of companies changing their minds on this
and you don't see this printed do you?? for instance northrup and
Lockhead both made large purchases of powermacs you didnt hear the WSJ
reporting that did you??

they havent been playing that game for some times perhaps you should be
updating your knowledge base.  Apples clone efforts are doing very well
lately.  Motorola for instance will start selling mac clones in the
next few days, it will be interesting to see if the WSJ reports that!
