I think that they are definitely both. Just look at how much software they do produce--in addition to being a hardware company. Look at the software that Apple produces, for free or for a hefty cost:- Final Cut - Logic - iLife - iWork - MobileMe - Safari - Quicktime - Aperture - Remote Desktop - Shake I’m not so convinced.

Just because they make the pricing of Snow Leopard low, doesn't mean they're only a hardware company. If they were just hardware, we'd have Mac's running Windows/Linux/Unix, but not OSX. Without OSX, Apple couldn't have made the iPhone into the success it is today, especially with all the free developer tools made available for free. If you also take into consideration that they also make iWork, iLife, Aperture, Final Cut Pro/Studio, Logic Express, along with all the Safari/iChat/Mail to make their hardware a fantastic experience, I think it's fair to say that the ponder in both markets.Snow Leopard doesn't seem to be a big upgrade (except from performance features) from Leopard, so I don't really see no point in charging a big fee.Just my £0.02 ;) I personally think they’re both, equally.

Snow Leopard doesn’t seem to be a big upgrade (except from performance features) from Leopard, so I don’t really see no point in charging a big fee.

Just my £0.02 ;)
