>losses doesn't bode well for Apple Stockholders, certainly.

I thought the article was completely biased and a terrible piece of 
journalism... the second paragraph draws a huge and un-founded 
assumption that Apple's losses are the result of competing with 
Microsoft.  If you are a columnist, you can mix opinion with fact, 
but in reality the reporter should be fired for making such a 
statement in an ARTICLE without providing substantiated FACTUAL 
EVIDENCE.

The economy sucks, every computer manufacturer is taking it on the 
chin, and Apple is the only one that did not have to bail itself out 
by laying off thousands of its employees.  In fact, the rest of the 
article states that if Apple had not taken some charge-offs, they 
would have posted an $11 million profit.

Charge offs have nothing to do with Microsoft...this was just a 
reporter needing to fill an article quota and throwing something 
together with information off the wire.
