10:16AM - “Just a week and a half ago we updated the white plastic MB, so to complete the picture we’re updating the MacBook Air today as well — now it’s got a 1.8GHz for $1499 — $300 less than before. 128GB model for $1800… that’s $700 less than before.” Big applause. “We just leaped even further ahead.”
Now I won't have to take on a second mortgage AND sell my body on the weekends
On the other hand, compared to the glory that is new Windows versions:
10:46AM - How should we price SL? We priced Leopard at $129. “We’re pricing it at the incredible price of $29.” Uproarious applause. Whoa!
They should allow their OS to be installed in any x86 compatible PC if they want to win any market share from microsft.
Apples has always been a hardware company with good software...

They did try that, and it almost killed the company. As you said, Apple is a hardware company, and that is where their margins are. That and they'd have to work with many, many more hardware configurations than they do currently. Part of the "Apple experience" is a guarantee of reliability, no crashes or weird bugs (not that they 'never happen', but they're quite rare unless you're doing something that messes with the core OS) – with an endless number of hardware configurations it opens the doors to many more problems.
That and I personally don't want Apple to grow too much more in market share, so that all the malware coders don't see OS X as a worthy target compared to Windows (with it's large market share, 93% or wherever it sits now).
Also, the new version of Safari is quite nice. :)
(On OS X at least, I use FireFox when I'm booted into Windows)
$30 for Snow Leopard=Awesome
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, taking too long*.
