It may not be as flashy as new product launches, but the nuts and bolts of sales and market share are even more important, because if you're not selling enough hardware, well, you won't be selling hardware for much longer.
From the various live-blogging outlets furiously covering the WWDC keynote, we've gleaned the following:

Best Way to get switchers
I've already read more than a handful of articles where people bought the new Intel MacBooks, with the intention of running WinXP exclusively. Fortunately for Apple, WinXP is such garbage that these new owners, when faced with the inevitable WinXP nightmare, just opted to boot up in Mac mode and try that out. Then they get hooked and never look back.
I've been showing off my macs for 20 years now, and any time any of my friends get to use my computer for more than just a single shot, they always end up ditching windows for a mac. Now Steve Jobs is doing the same exact thing, but on a much larger stage.

didnt take a genius
The intel number and the success of Apples sales into a bigger market, didnt take a genius to figure that it would be like this. It just took steve jobs to get off his high horse i want to be diffrent, and realize, that going to intel, was a damn good idea. Why did it take so long. Also, i wonder, how many more macs sold after they allowed you to install windows xp.
They didnt happen to mention those numbers now did they.
