Recession Hurting Apple, Helping PCs
According to the industry research firm NPD Group, Mac sales dropped 16-percent in February compared to sales the same month in 2008. Many people have wondered if Apple would make concessions considering the state of the economy, but they seem content at the moment, so keep dreaming about a new $1500 MacBook Pro. Apple's seeming complacency has resulted in a boom for Windows PCs, which saw sales jump 22-percent compared to the same month last year.
Sure, Apple produces beautiful, quality products, but this economy may force them to flinch just a bit when it comes to pricing. PC manufacturers, of course, are hoping that Apple stays the course. [From: pcworld]

Perhaps this will bring about the Apple netbook? Seriously, that would allow them to keep the $1500 MacBook.

Apple can curl up and whither away, for all I care.

I don't see Apple introducing a $300.00 'netbook' computer. Apple has always been a company that operates with fat margins. The customers flocking to the 499.99 bargain basement PC are not typically the customers Apple even wants. But, who knows. Crazier things have happened.

Apple is a 50 billion dollar a year company and will do very well with the ipad, I worked on pc' s as of 5 years ago and all I can say is that you get what you pay for. There prices will go down and the mac will become huge, I wish I would have invested in stock 15 years ago. PC users have no idea what they are missing.
