They have to license out OSX sometime- their computers aren't doing that great, and some manufacturers have computers suited to OSX (Panasonic/Sony). That, and their computers are far too fragile- I got a Panasonic Let's Note (Toughbook) T5 for this reason (I had a Powerbook, but it got dinged and dented while it was still in my bag, and part of the LCD bezel eventually bent and broke- a $700 repair). Of course, it has its faults too (knocked it off a desk- LCD broke, so I'm looking at an expensive repair).

Take a look at their revenue for this quarter--particularly how many computers they've sold. You'll be pleasantly surprised that you're actually wrong.

They can keep this trend going because they're following the same model as every other company in business. Release smaller upgrades to an already favorable and desirable product. This is how you make money and this is why stuff never gets to be the best when it can be much better.
