From what i see, this is their position and it looks like, so far, it has worked out for them quite well. I'd love to hear your take on it as it seems you have a different than mine.

Well investors tend to care more about future growth potential than past performance. History tells us that the outlook for expensive proprietary platforms is usually not so good.

I agree and the fall has already started I believe. But they have "believers" that don't seem to understand the rational of people saying this.

Funny thing is that even Steve Jobs said as much in an interview: basically, that a computing platform was dead without market share and they made a mistake with the Mac, making it too inaccessible for too many people. But I guess history and mistakes are just a cycle.

It would be very good for everyone if they fell from grace and start "losing" profit so they can't start working on stuff, once again.
