RE: Dumb iTunes Question - in defense of Apple

[Brad Caviness <bigwigenterprises@yahoo.com>]

Am I crazy, or didn't Bill Gates invest pretty heavily into Apple a year or so ago?

 

As for selling to non-iPod users, my world is beginning to look like a Picasso painting, I'm seeing both points of view, strands of logic are interweaving like DNA, I find I can see around corners.

 

iTunes for Windows, I guess, serves the same purpose as cds at best buy... sell the cheap stuff at a loss, but don't cut any breaks on the expensive stuff, i.e., the iPods. Silly me, I was thinking in terms of making a profit off iTunes itself by selling compatible files to the guy (or lady) who bought a Creative Nomad or an Odyssey 1000. Which wouldn't, of course, increase their market share, necessarily, but could turn a tidier profit for almost no overhead. And, since that's not the case, I'm inclined to believe either Apple likes their little club (making windows iPod users like allowing women and righteous foreigners in the outer court of Herod's Temple), or the mark-up on iPod is unbelievably high.

Apple investors have continued to invest capital into Apple (even with Al Gore on the board of directors).

 

Besides, I don't see how Apple opening up their store as a free-for-all, will increase their market share.
