Yes, this is a revolution: Apple just released a piece of hardware for windows, pc users. Mac fanatics should not yell:"scandal!"
This means that there is no war between mac and pc platforms anymore. Microsoft gives IE and office to the mac, Apple offers its nicely designed Ipod to windows users. This is the proof many people were waiting for: Apple is here to last for a long time now. The new "switch" commercials are just a smart little trick used by Apple to sell more imacs. I bet Bill Gates doesn't mind at all. It is fair game in a business were the competition can be found somewhere else (see IBM and linux versus wintel...)

Exactly. I should have precised, that the Apple that's going to last, might not be the Apple that most of us liked before.
