Why does one have to win and the other loose, have you never heard of the win/win concept. At last count there was plenty of potential out there for both and there will be a demand for both systems, each has it's specific benefits.
The looser if there is one will be MicroSoft stuck in the past unable to create a single new idea.
Apple and Google are two great companies that can both thrive in a market of diversity. I guess what you headline does though is get you hits, but how is counting eh!]]>

What has this got to do with anything? It might surprise you to know that people other than "US citizens" read and comment on these forms.

Alex's comment are just as valid as your so called feedback. Based on the so called experts advise prior to AAPL's last quarterly report in which they were all WRONG except for a couple of notable exceptions. I would say the paid analysts are not worth their weight in Bull Crap and that is all they produce.]]>
