Doing the honors was Bertrand Serlet, who took the stage by saying "what a sharp contrast with Vista our OS is," and only got rolling from there, pointing out "what a big hole Microsoft has dug," and adding that "they're trying to get out of it with Windows 7." Of course, Serlet didn't have many good things to say about Windows 7 either, which he says has "even more complexity" than Vista because it's just based on the "same old tech as Vista."


That's like saying "Im gonna kick your ass" to a man holding a gun.

How so?

You know Microsoft and apple bashes are like how the US politics and media is. Apple is the democrats and Microsoft are the republicans. The democrats still bash the republicans about Bush when Obama does something wrong and they keep blaming them for Bush. Bush is out of office! He has done nothing wrong and it is not his fault. When Bush was president the economy was not failing. Not until the end of his 8 year term did it start. Anyway, that's what I think how MS VS Apple is like. In the end the republicans know what they are doing just like Microsoft. Microsoft is a better choice. ( for those who know I want a Mac it is because you can not use their goddamn OS on another PC unless you us hackintosh witch does not work for my PC.)

Don't talk about politics if you don't know anything about it.

I'll admit it was a very poor comparison, but he does have a point with the Democrats crying that everything in the world is Bush's fault, including shit they've done.

yes they do, and the republicans do the same thing. And it's never going to stop...not as long as the USA is filled with idiots that just keep voting for the same guy with a different name and different party affiliation.

You have the logic of a 10 year old.

In case you haven't noticed, Microsoft has been pretty clueless lately. They keep doing all kinds of random projects and fail to capture new markets (zune? bing? table thingy? silverlight?). Apple, on the other hand, knows exactly where it's going and where they want to go. They expand slowly but surely, using very specific strategies. Their whole organization is remarkably consistent. Speaking business strategy strictly, of course.


In all fairness to MS, Silverlight is actually still in it's infancy and is gathering quite a following in the development community. Milan, the surface computer, is more of a concept, and as far as I know, it's not even available to market, which makes it hard to say it's failed. Bing is too new and Google's internet stranglehold is too strong for any real progress to be seen there yet, and quite likely ever. And, Zune is actually a decent player, again however, Ipod is just too engrained in society now. MS was just too late to the party. That said, there are features of the Zune that I'd like Apple to adopt in future Ipod's. Won't likely happen, but if Zune ever becomes a legitimate competitor it'd only be a good thing.

The fact remains that Microsoft's flagship software, which is not Windows btw, is still going strong. Microsoft Office. On top of the MS is involved in countless other successful ventures. When you look at their portfolio, having Zune, Bing, and Milan as your question marks is really good, because they are solidly entrenched with 99% of their other business.

In regard to the OP, I think my feelings on Apple's marketing department are well documented in this community.

Yeah, he does have a point.

It's under his hat.

Zune doesn't even exist in Europe. Not in Sweden anyway.

Google can gtfo. Apple too. And MS. I trust no commercial software developer :shoot: Open source in inherently on our side while companies are there to make money from us. Whenever I hear shit about monopolistic companies and trouble with their software I'm like :roll: because the software I use belong to me, and all of us, and it can't be taken away from me.

Actually, I had much patience with Apple but with their app store bullshit, itunes lock-out and non-removable batteries they can finally go screw themselves.

I disagree. I'd rather pay money on something that's going to last me forever than take something for free that will break immediately.

Free dosnt cost you anything hence why it dosnt matter if it breaks staright away as you didnt pay anything for it in the first place
And Linux is a brilliant OS and weve yet to see about googles but as long as they take down MS and apple ill have a big smile on my face

Saying Google's OS is the best because it's free is a ridiculous argument. There are tons of cases where Free is not the best option available, this happens to be one of the many.
