Apple Vs. Microsoft


Do you think that Microsoft Vista really could add up to Apple? I think that Microsoft is trying way too hard to be in the future. It's all in the sense that Apple is always at least 3 technological gadgets of what they sell out. With Apple, they simply focus on the program knowing that it will be good and then they know that if they have a good product that will continue to amaze their customers, then they have a product that will sweep the whole country once again. It's very hard to top Apple with its high technology. Microsoft has a state of mind that quantity is more important than quality. I believe that they should have tested the program out rather than just putting the product out there hoping that it wouldn't give anyone any problems what-so-ever. And I bet you right now that Apple already has another program that will wipe the floor with microsoft all together.

"I agree with you that Vista will double Apple’s market share, but I think it’s going to be bigger than you realize. For an awful lot of customers, Vista is Microsoft’s last chance. They’ve waited for six years, every feature that was supposed to make Vista worth the wait has been punted, and we know that they’re not even going to deliver a securable product.

My own prediction is that Vista is going to be remembered as the start of Microsoft’s slide to 20% market share or less. In the next decade or so, Apple will gain the most from Microsoft’s losses, but the cracking of the monopoly will be a major opportunity for Linux as well. I think we will also see the emergence of several entirely new operating systems, now that Microsoft will lose their ability to prevent new alternatives from reaching customers, as they did to Be."
