Can Apple Do It?

Before the economy went down the tubes Apple reached an all time high of $199.83. Now once again, it has been one of the most aggressive movers on the market as the economy starts to recover. Many analysts are rating the stock BUY and STRONG BUY, with one firm even putting the target price at nearly $200. With the speculation over an Apple "NetBook", strong iPhone and iPod sales, and the upcoming iPhone carrier contract expiration, all things are looking sky high. As a previous PC with Windows user I can attest to the company's success. I find Windows Vista just plain hard to use. Although I must say that many of the OS issues are due to crappy hardware from a four letter word company I won't mention. With Mac OS X, everything just works. Many people will argue their point about which OS is better, but it truly is up to the user to decide. Windows 7 does look very promising, however. Having played around with the Beta versions of the software, they truly have corrected a lot of the issues that Windows Vista had. 

Now don't get a false idea of what I stand for, I don't hate Microsoft. I hate some of the products they make. Hands down, Microsoft Office is the de facto standard for the business world, as is Windows Server and Microsoft Exchange. These software products are quite good actually and explain their prevalence in the corporate world. As I stated before, I have been and still am a Windows user from time to time, but Windows Vista has turned me off to PC. I will give Windows 7 another chance, but for now I see no need to venture away from my quick, aesthetically pleasing, and rock-solid MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.
