...there's plenty about Macintosh that's worth controlling. Gates' richest prize may be Apple's intellectual property, both silicon-and carbon-based. The graphic designers, software gurus and other artsy types who constitute the Mac's most fervent cadres are a disproportionately influential market niche. Some two-thirds of all Websites are thought to have been created on Macs. "It's very attractive to Microsoft to have access to cutting-edge Mac developers," says Kurt King, an analyst with San Francisco-based Montgomery Securities, "particularly in areas like video streaming and other graphics technologies that represent the likely future...
MASTER OF THE GAME. Perhaps no program has moved more students into skilled jobs than the Center for Employment Training.
