NPR's "Market Place" radio program did a short piece on the day that the
iTunes app went Windows. They referred to the the music store as being a
loss leader and questioned whether Apple could get much of the Wintel

Then the broadcaster made a reference to the fanatical devotion of mac
users to their machines and platform but had to confess that he himself
loved his iMac!
