Apple Computer's alliance with Microsoft does little to resolve the long-term problems that have reduced Apple to its present, woeful condition, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday. The on-line edition of the paper said the alliance does not address numerous fundamental questions, such as how does Apple reach out to new customers who do not already own an Apple. James Underwood, a consultant who has just completed a study of Apple, told the paper: "The bottom line is that Apple's future market stinks." - (Reuters)
