    If Apple use the IOS model in Mac...means the OS comes free with the hardware and upgrade is free.  Microsoft and other PC vendors will be in trouble.

    My first reaction to the Apple Store numbers was to be startled, but then I had a more interesting thought -- I did spend a few hundred dollars at Apple Stores last year.  But those numbers are dwarfed next to the total I spent on Apple products in that time - iPhone 4s ordered on line, iPad from Target, multiple Macs from a computer specialist non-Apple retail store.  Are there interesting things to be said about how all of these ways to buy Apple's products fit together?
