I would not agree with this article at all.
The writter is assuming tings only and build his measures on historical events.

I remember that one day Apple had let some companies to copy their platforms once and it did not workout. I remeber Umax did that.

Also, He says that iPod success is related to enabling windows users to take advantage. That's right but also that nice iPod is the product that made many PC users to question Apple's existance.

I know alot who moved to OS X platform when they saw how easy and fun is the iPod.

I know that some even bought the MacMini just to feel the Apple's touches.
