I don't think MS needs to be destroyed, but their OS industry needs some serious competition. Right now, If Apple wanted to license their OS to other hardware vendors, they could. I have seen OSX on Non-mac PCs, with a few hacks to make it happen.
Unfortunately, Apple is not after major market share for their computer Industry anymore. I guess having the iPod is enough for them. I wish they would try to put up some serious competition to Windows Vista to force MS to overhaul it and make it better. Right now, the way the PS3 and 360 are competing, it's really an excellent situation. Both companies have to better themselves. Sony had to make the thing cheaper and MS had to deal with their HW problems.
I think when MS entered, it wasn't going to be as easy to kick Sony out as they thought. Sony stupidly entered the power arms race with MS. MS was not thinking the Wii would really take off when the "Wii60" claims were made.
Oh well, let the companies go through their drama. I'm playing both the 360 and PS3 and enjoying them both. |
Yeah I agree, I went too far. Let's say that they need to have their asses kicked and some competition in the OS market. Apple isn't particularly better in my opinion as they have an even less open vision of the world than Microsoft. They want you to buy their computer with their OS and their software while listening to music you bought with iTunes on your Ipod. However, I have to admit that their products are of really good quality (but more expensive). Seriously, I would love to see some new blood in that market. A monopoly can only thwarth innovation.
I agree that we need to let them go with their drama but in the end none of them are doing badly.
How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...
