I think Apple deserve their sucess. I'm not an apple lover but the reverse but regardless of that they earned their sucess and foresee the future and predicted well what people would want.
Billion copies of vbulletin? I reckon with that many copies sold I would be promoted as site coordinator level 3 because they need supporters even more which would lead to jelsofts downfall with sales sharply declining at a consistent rate resulting in 1 copy sold per annum - customer being me. Supporting myself, suggestion features to myself, and over the next 2 years predicting sales will fall further into the red.
Doesn't look good at all. What if a comet hurtled towards earth a minute before jelsoft were one away from a billionth sale. That would have been a worthy thread in itself.
