You don't know the average consumer then... :-)

I do know people hate being tied to a sole source supplier. Which is a big reason people hate Microsoft.

You were saying ...

Well consumers buy Ford and only Ford makes Ford... :-)

The only problem there is that other car makers make their own cars, too... ooops...

I suppose if someone didn't like Apple Hardware, they could go to Dell, or HP and buy theirs. The only problem with that is that Dell doesn't make HP and HP doesn't make Dell... LOL...

The bottom line is that people are buying Apple Macintosh because they like Apple Macintosh and it works well for them. If they liked HP, they would go there. If they liked Dell, they would go there. So, it's no big deal.

As long as Apple produces the quality computers and other products they make and continues to be wildly successful, with billions of dollars in the bank and no debt -- I don't see what the problem is.

I mean, if someone doesn't want to buy Apple, who is making them? :-)

The fact is, people are buying Apple not because anyone is making them, but because they've found a good product with excellent customer service (the best in the business for that industry) having quality hardware and software.

As long as Apple is bringing in more and more customers all the time, I say that's great...

So, why do they stick with the big, sole source supplier, Microsoft???

And love their iPhones, wait, what was that? I think they hate products that make them want to beat their head against the wall.
