The MSFT business scheme all along has been to fuel new PC sales by selling new versions of Windows. Producing a great piece of software was never the intent. The PC manufacturers held up their end of the deal by licensing Windows in large quantities.
That business model is mature, played out, and dying. APPL would be making a mistake if it adopted the same model for OSX. They've got to continue milking the superior product for smarter users angle for both OS and hardware if they want to continue gaining market share.
Nothing wrong with making OSX a little more WSB I guess, but the value of OSX is that it sells APPL hardware and nobody else's.
