Apple and the Procrastinators' Dilemma | HaveMacWillBlog (aka Robin Bloor’s Blog)
The article states that the reason HP, Sony, Dell, and others are losing market share to Apple is not due to the hardware, but because of the OS. There’s no way to differentiate between themselves because they all sell Windows.
ASUS is developing EeePC and the author argues others will follow. Frankly it is the only way someone can challege Apple.
AND, this becomes much more doable because of three things:
1. Internet (desktop apps aren’t as important)
2. File standards
3. Unix (take a flavor of unix and modify it, just like Apple did with OSX)
