You can buy a cheap Microsoft laptop at a pawn store just for updates. World wide Apple accounts for less than 10% of PC sales.
Nothing like messing with a used laptop!
So, this is XP's philosophy... since they are too cheap, or technically inept, we tell our customers to go out and buy another computer for updates! ( I know you don't work for XP. You obviously replied. I sent them an email, and never got a reply back)
You are possibly right.. Apple's account for less than 10% of PC sales.
But who are those 10%? These are not the low income people who buy cheap products, these are upper income people who are the ones more likely to be buying an $1800 Metal Detector. So, I would guesstimate thats 20-30 percent of the potential buyers for the Deus 2.
This is a big segment of customers that the intelligent people who are management at XP have chosen to ignore.
I just bought a Legend... Apple compatible.
Almost every $15-$30 electronic toy I buy on Amazon, works with Apple. But not my $1,800 Deus XP.
It paints a not so good picture of XP. If I would be a potential investor in that company, their decision alone would throw up a lot of red flags.
I want to see the company succeed, it's a nice product. But it makes me question whomever runs the company's decision making abilities.
