LOL - Multi-tool Word was renamed to simply "Word" in 1984. Are you really going to be that obtuse? Or should I let you continue to feel good about your "successful" Google search?

Sounds like you're clueless about Mac profitability -- ask your God-Microsoft for the answers to the hard questions. Vista has to be your savior. Book: Vista for Dummies, I presume is your Bible.
Umm - "Mac" profitability, from an Apple stock viewpoint is mediocre. The iPod is the rainmaker and makes Apple such a stock favorite now. Not sure what you mean about Vista - as far as I've seen, it's unproven (and not officially released for at least a couple more hours). Does it somehow threaten you?
Not me - but that's probably because I prefer Linux and OSX.

I think what you meant to say is that Excel came out first for the Mac. Then later on the PC.
I guess
you meant to shift the discussion to Excel for some reason ... since nobody else was talking about it.

Now consider the fact that not one of Adobe's applications has been written as a Universal Binary. This will change in the coming months and the pent up demand from the last year will be unleashed and sales will go back to the 30%-40% and probably approach 50% or more in comparison to your 20% quote from just this last fall.
Isn't this the second year in a row (or is it the third now) where the Universal Binary prediction has been made? The Adobe revenue % figure I quoted was for the entire preceding year - more like a trend than a spot check. Perhaps this year you'll be right in your prediction (well not your's actually - but it's certainly popular on Mac fanboy sites) and we'll all get rich on our Adobe stock (Apple stock too since it will should help boost Mac sales)! Personally I'm tired of waiting for Adobe to get their act straight ... and glad their CFO finally quit.
Let's get back to talking about iPhone. Windows won the per unit/WinOS versus MacOs war back in the 90s. However, looking at a pre-release of Vista, Apple won the UI design hands down.
Did you say talk about the iPhone?
