danielmramos Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 http://www.9to5mac.com/mac_market_gorwo It sounds to me from what Apples CFO announced recently about product transitions and price points that would dramatically lower margins that Apple is getting ready to make a major effort into market share gains. If the prices of Macintoshes drop dramatically, then there will be much less of an incentive to go the hackintosh route. I believe this will be Apple's strategy in dealing with the recent phenomena of companies trying to go the illegal clone route. It may be that the floridians' efforts may end up benefitting all of us with reduced prices on Apple products. I hope I like the next batch of Macs.

Stravaganza Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I don't think it will be that huge. Just enough to kill or damage some small competitors. I do not take Apple's unofficial announcement seriously. It is all about hype.
