No, people that own the stock care about higher earnings. Period. They don't give a rats @ss where the earnings come from. As a stockholder, I'm very comforted in these earnings given Apple had no new products this quarter to feed the growth. This was mostly old products. CS3 only shipped at the very tail end of the quarter. iPhone hasn't shipped. Leopard hasn't shipped. CPU refreshes due next Q. LOTS of great stuff coming from Apple to fuel earnings higher and higher.
