New I can't the find the article I saw about that...
There was someone I read semi-regularly who pointed out that Apple could lose money on the MacMini and still stay out in front. Why? Apparantly, Apple has a large cash surplus. If they're willing to lose $1billion subsidising the MacMini, they'll find out if such a relatively cheap device will sell in quantity. If it does, they've made a considerable dent in the Wintel market. If not, well, it was an experiment anyway.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
