The software Apple acquired 15 years ago (now discontinued) has little bearing on their strengths today. Technology gets stale, fast.
If you assume that Apple learned nothing from WebObjects, then you would be correct. If, as I, you assume that Apple learned at lot, then a very different conclusion is reached. This Mac buyer makes almost all of his personal purchases directly from Apple online. I purchased online in 1996. I purchase online now. Even when buying for my firm, I create my quotes from Apple online which go directly to my purchasing office. But to really see what Apple has learned, go to your nearest Apple Store. The Apple Store's POS system is mind-blowing. No one else has it--certainly not Google.
