Mac OS X and OEMs

lango, don't get me wrong. I think OEMs can be a tremendous opportunity for Apple if selected well and executed well. If I recall, the purpose of Apple moving to a common hardware reference platform (CHRP) was to enable more simplicity in developing Macintosh computers. Apple of 2006 is a lot different than the Apple of 1996-97-98, which saw the company struggle.

Apple has a commanding presence in music now, and significant pickup on the OS side for a variety of reasons. A partnership with someone like HP (though not them now) or others would be very interesting. My concerns were that an Apple iLife for Windows campaign would be a lot harder than the iPod for Windows campaign has been.
