What about those ads they ran with the Mac vs PC guy? Apple just trash talks in a more endearing way.

  Completely agree with you about the trash talk... but don't put the Mac vs. PC ads in the same basket! a) They are ads: they are not making a prediction, just trying to explain the advantages of mac vs. pc (obviously ignoring the disadvantages, but that's ads.) b) Talking of features and how they affect the user is a lot more concrete than "Apple will go to 20-30% market share, because they are not open". Why not 10% then? Why not 50%? If he came up with a quantitative number (and with an interval at that) then I imagine he can explain a bit more. And "closed" is not the bane of the world. Windows is closed and it goes strong. So are many other software. I do believe he may very well be correct, but he should have explained a bit better _why_ that matters. Incidentally as I said I do believe Apple trash talks just as much as the next guy. Just check all those old SJ presentations!
