Apple: On an Innovation Treadmill

@vraj

You are living in a dream world. All the Microsoft techs are running scared to death of Apple. They are literally freaking out in total FUD mode, but it's not working, Apple is rapidly gaining marketshare. Just last summer, no one would believe it, now already no one will deny it. Real people (including the bosses in charge) are waking up to realize what a total and utter sham Microsoft has pulled. Microsoft has always been devoid of ethics, they have screwed their 'channel partners' time and time again. No one likes Microsoft. No one.

Apple has totally eclipsed any OS that Microsoft could ever produce. They have also been quietly building their own Office replacement. Every application on the Mac can read any of the proprietary MS Office formats, even the new formats that Microsoft has so desperately shoe- horned into Office 2008. Microsoft programmers are dullards that only ever COPIED (badly) the work of others. That was enough before, but it's not enough now.

The other shoe is about to drop. The only reason the Apple stock has dropped is because it's a great time to reload. I think the reloading began today on myriad new rumors each of which holds far greater potential than Microsoft's old routine. Time for Ballmer to do another 'Monkey Dance' and throw some more chairs.
