"Mark your calendars. Today is the day that Apple Computer killed the Mac as we've known it," proclaims Forbes. It says:
With the confirmation of the change, Apple is embarking on a transition that could well hurt its computer sales between now and 2007, frustrate software developers and ultimately drive loyal customers away from the platform.
Forbes continues:
"Every time Apple tries to make a transition like this, many people simply decide it's not worth the effort to try and keep up," says Nathan Brookwood, analyst with Insight64, Saratoga, Calif. "The companies behind the PC platform have paid a lot of attention to stability and backward compatibility than Apple has."
More immediately, by announcing a transition that is going to take place during 2006 and into 2007, Apple can't help but hurt its computer sales during the transition period.
And so on....
Comment: This is clearly a bit of a rush job on Forbes's part. No doubt the second version will correct the lacunae.
