- Mac users are also complaining. Macweek has even taken the stand that
- Macs cost too much:
-
- "What can Apple do to respond? For the long haul, the right answer
- is to stick to the strategy the company already is pursuing:
- developing innovative software that reinforces the Mac advantage,
- making it easier for Mac users to fit into enterprise networks, and
- accelerating development of the PowerPC Macs.
- But in the short run, significant price cuts are overdue, and
- this time they should start at the top of the line."
