Sure, Zune HD was slightly better than an iPod Touch, but it takes an actual game-changer to overcome brand heritage. |
The difference between Apple and Microsoft today is that Apple is able to advance new concepts in a saleable format. Microsoft has been developing a mobile OS and tablets for over a decade, and what have they accomplished? Very little. That is a huge problem.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
