It depends. There are two groups here: gamers are not generally the same
group as those who are looking for the most efficient, productive tools they
can get. There is some overlap, of course, but for Apple to focus on the
gamers they would have to change things quite a bit. If they can do it,
great - just do not see it as a main priority for Apple.

Many attacks from you - but no quote of anything he said which is wrong. Now
he and I do not agree on everything but I have general respect for Hadron.
He does not sink to your level.
