He is just doing what he's always done in the past. It goes like
this: spend a fortune on R&D to develop superior hardware and software,
then monopolize it and jack up the price to something ridiculously high,
expecting everyone to pay whatever it takes to get a premium product.
Dosen't quite work though, if it did everyone would have a NeXT box on
their desk running NeXTSTEP instead of Intel boxes running W95/NT.
I just hope his clone hardware blunder dosen't annihilate Rhapsody
(since it isnt supposed to require Apple specific hardware anyway)...
