Perhaps there really is an Apple "mole" in the management end of Microsoft trying to bring the company down. Its common knowledge that the market does not trust Microsoft but still generally support their now legacy operating systems. XP and Win7 are still big players in the desktop market yet they are willing to risk losing their only performing area in a foolish attempt to break into the gadget market.
I guess all of the foolish things they have done will all come home to roost when the next OS version flops like Vista did and more of them go out the door. They have already damaged the home desktop market with irritating registration techniques, forced attempts to make people upgrade software that already works well for them, breaking backwards compatibility and so on where many non technical folks just went to a portable gadget, iPhone and the current generation of Android tablets, all of which are losses to the user base for PCs.
If they keep messing it up we will all be left with some crapheap Linux Distro Windows imitation, gadgets or even worse, an Apple MAC. :icon13:
