For one, they’re really expensive. Secondly, they’re unique in design. Thirdly, they are not that perfect in terms of features. What’s ironic however is that people around the world still crave to have a Mac, an iPod, etc. Have you noticed some common denominators with Apple’s products? For one, they’re really expensive.

Before that, they were doing well with their PC's and all but it was the iPod that made them really, really popular again and well known. Only a few geeks would rate Apple before that, now everyone thinks Apple is absolutely brilliant and people will be happy to buy expensive laptops just because its Apple (and actually get less for more money). Me, though, I just buy a normal laptop and install Linux Ubuntu – works just as well (for a LOT less!) I think that the iPod really, really propelled Apple into the big time.

As for the whole pages vs word discussion... I'm a mac fanatic and admire pages and its simplicity, it works how you think it would like the other Apple apps unlike word which puts all the complicated (and often uneeded) options in your face... BUT Pages has a long way to go yet, its very much an Apple app, but it has its quirks and relies too much on the inspector. It seems that all the complicated options Apple doesnt want to look at it just shoves lazily into the inspector with little refinement... like how do I change that *&^%^# margin? It needs to better implement some of the more complicated features into its interface such as better margins and rulers, and the ability to change font without opening up another dialogue box. Also ... hyphenation is always on by default! and I wish I could turn it off permanently... theres a lot Pages could learn from Word without going overboard (eg- I like Word's create a table system better where it lets you visually choose no of rows/columns as you create the table) .
