That’s the whole point of expos like Macworld – the variety of exhibitors and the variety of products. Apple is making a mistake not committing to MWSF, maintaining that the number of people who come into their stores is much greater that the number of attendees at MW.

But attendees at MW see those OTHER products being used on Macs, being used effectively by knowledgeable demonstrators. To get people to switch to Macs, or to buy new products for their Macs, they have to see ALL the things that can be done on a Mac. You see that at expos like MWSF, not in an Apple Store. And for those who cannot attend MWSF, they read about the new products online or in magazines, reading articles that would not have been written if it were not for MWSF or others expos like it.
