  • Microsoft: More Evidence That Windows Phone 8 Is A Great Success [View article]
    @flybywire54

    PC Magazine is not a random sample of the population, that is all I am saying. Are you familiar with the computer industry?

  • Apple Offers Investors An Annualized Gross Return Of Between 0% And 15% Over The Next 5 Years [View article]
    iPhone large? It is an assumption on your part that Apple will not come out with any new products. Just because it's an extremely conservative assumption, doesn't mean it's not an assumption.

    PC world has no reputation for survey research. Even if they used a well constructed instrument, which I doubt, the sampling is strictly a convenience sample and is completely ungeneralizable to any other context other than PC Magazine readers.

    First of all, it just came out, and is actually selling quite modestly compared to either Android, or the iPhone (that literally obliterated MS's old model.)

    Secondly, PC magazine is not exactly a critical group when it comes to microsoft. You might as well ask around Microsoft's campus, too. Maybe that would also support your thesis. Ask Steve Ballmer what he thinks.

    Microsoft can no longer compete on price if they've programmed themselves and their old monopoly OS on expensive hardware. They can't even make surface price competitive, at all, with iPad. Now the PC, if ever you get your hardware wishes, APPL could by that time sell a Mac for less and still take in four-five times the profits.

    Besides the fact that a touch screen simply doesn't work on a desktop, or even very well on a laptop form factor for that matter.

  • Apple Slim Down, Buy When There's Blood In The Streets [View article]
    Thank you for finally publishing a rational article about Apple on SA, and not the same old, irrational bearishness based on fear and doubt rather than facts, from people claiming they are being conservative about the stock while actually openly pushing the alternatives. It's been awhile.

  • Apple's Samsung Problem Can't Be Solved [View article]
    Another Asraf article, this one is just as bearish on AAPL as ever, even after Samesung's flop. Where is Samesung's innovation? Or do copiers not fret over it? Why should they, when many will buy their battery hiding purse phones, and pay as much as for the device they are mimicking? It's pretty amazing, really, that Samsung and Google can pull this off so far. It's never going to last.

    It's amazing what some people take away from an article.

    How does this address his point though? It doesn't.

    Agree 100% with this. Windows 8 is not innovative, just another iteration of Windows, totally copied from Apple, plus 'metro' which seems to be reviled, frankly.

  • The Microsoft Surface Pro Launch Debacle Proves It's Time For Steve Ballmer To Go [View article]
    Actually, the iPad can be used for work. It has every type of software imaginable, just not MS Office. Do you really think people have to use Office for everything? That its impossible to 'work' without it? I use it all the time myself, but I don't miss it on iPad. I like writing on iPad, actually, I just don't do the same kinds of work on iPad.

  • Microsoft Windows Phone 8: The Elixir Of Delight [View article]
    You mean daring not to blatantly copy Apple for once? I think that's great. Too bad they aren't selling though.

    "This level of competition"

    Selling to your most rabid fans is not 'competition'.

    There's no market for Microsoft products, only people who feel forced to buy them. That's the history of the company.

    I don't get it. Is the complaining person just a dog in your senario? Or, just treated like one by Microsoft? Serious question here.

    What is strong about the products? Seriously would like to know. And, can you talk about products an average person might use, and not those foisted on everyone else by a lazy tech who could care less about the end user, and selects MSFT products for their well known lock-in (aka job security for IT geeks--MSFTs true customers)? Thank you.
