		<description><![CDATA[Ed the title suggests you were talking TO &#039;Microsofties&#039; as in some &#039;other people&#039; with yourself not included - regardless of who coined the term. But hey that&#039;s OK, I think the people who read regularly this blog know it has an Apple slant, and we still keep coming back :)

I think sales alone means little, profit and market penetration are what&#039;s important, and Apple are doing pretty well when it comes to mobiles at the moment. I have a feeling that android is going to spoil the party though, with it&#039;s less restrictive App store and general openness. Still Apple might surprise us again, and who knows, so might Microsoft with Windows Mobile 7.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why would this site, It&#039;s author or anyone take a extremely small sampled survey from an analyst that might have an agenda ( you think) .   You know the one&#039;s that have  been right  regarding Apple going out of business (100 times ) ipod would never catch on / Apple shoud stay out of the phone biz they get killed etc etc )  
 
This is ridiculous just because one store in one location is shot and surveyed by someone at a specific time doesn&#039;t make it so in any general terms.  Amazing how many reports are constantly exposed as PURE BULL OR FUD each and every time Apple makes it quarterly financial report.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, Tom. Personally I think that the allure of something new (this is the MS store&#039;s first Black Friday) was a draw. Munster said in the report that he expected the online sales to balance out any weakness in retail, and he did not adjust his sales expectations downward.

But I got that video in a facebook status from a Microsoftie, and felt it was important to contrast/balance it with Apple&#039;s apparent successes online.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Apple really does not have a blockbuster product this holiday season to draw the crazed Black Friday masses in&quot;

Well, neither does MSFT. But MSFT DOES have the Fantasia-like dancing geeks (absent the cowled crocodiles). And, as you point out, Apple has the on-line store. We&#039;ll have to wait for the real numbers, in the EOQ earnings call.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Apple store in my town sold 8.8 computers an hour . Im seriously glad to see the Microsoft store doing well. Too bad they&#039;re unoriginal. But competition is a good thing... The amount of offerings in the cheapo netbook market last year was nothing like it was this year. I think the increase in selection along with a larger price gap is a big factor in the decline of macs sold per hour....]]></description>
