Winning and losing

PC World has come out with its list of winners and losers. On its list, Apple. Hold on though. They’re a winner and a loser. I’ll save you the suspense: they’re not the only ones. Also on the list is iTunes as a winner.

Apple is lauded for the Mac mini, video on the iPod, and the Intel switch. iTunes is praised for sticking to its pricing scheme as well as delivering video content. Apple is criticized for its lawsuits concerning rumor sites.

Is Apple being praised and criticized for the right things? Is praise for the Intel switch premature? Was Steve simply trying to maintain the mystique that is the keynote?
