I don't see that happening. Apple products are luxury items with high margins. They don't need to or want to chase that mass PC money.

- Legion 14y ago> Apple products are luxury items with high margins. They don't need to or want to chase that mass PC money. This reality gets less true every day. It's the same argument people repeated to insist that the iPad Mini would never happen. Or the Mac Mini. Or $0-after-subsidy 8GB iPhones. I don't think it would be surprising at all to see Apple look at business computing as money they no longer wish to leave on the table.
- ttflee 14y agoOops, but why I always feel that even Mac mini has a substantial margin compared with its Windows counterparts?
- jiggy2011 14y agoApple already sell a relatively cheap desktop computer in the mac mini. I don't think they could make anything much cheaper without digging into their margins. Microsoft's value in the business market is their suite of server desktop & cloud products and the integration between those. Adding all of that stuff to OS X would be a big undertaking and would probably take away a lot of the simplicity of the Mac.
