I've been using Mac's only for years now (since the Intel switch). I'm glad they're doing well. It's all kind of funny, considering Bill Gates invested all that money years back too - helped keep them alive.

That $150m invested in Apple was sold off looong ago. While it was a nice little profit for Microsoft, they consistently throw off ridiculous amounts of cash from their businesses. They just did $17 Billion in revenue ($5+ Billion in profit with $56+ Billion cash balance)

MSFT makes very little from the consumer... majority comes from the biz sector.

When you sell out dated hardware in pretty cases and your userbase is made up of hipsters and homosexuals who don't care about overpaying for "cool" products, it's easy to make huge profits.

Don't forget chicks. Young chicks, slutty chicks, mom chicks, middle aged chicks, old chicks. I even seen grandmas walking the street clutching their iphones trying vainly to read the little numbers on it. Ask most city dwelling-women their wish-list for a happy life and it usually goes:

1. rich husband
2. iphone

The rest of the list dont really matter. Grats to Apple!
