This is sad for me, not exactly by the Microsoft "win", but by the Apple "loss". Yes, you can call me a devotee if you like. What I feel is that the only company which cares (cared?) for design (bear in mind: true design, not decoration) and end-user experience has lost their edge. It's sad for me, on one hand because I'd rather see more - not less - companies being design oriented. On the other hand, pragmatically, it's also worrying because I don't know which laptop/smartphone I should buy when my current ones "expire". I like/liked Apple because they had a fundamental vision; their devices didn't seem to be full of gimmickry or spec/feature-oriented. Now they are releasing phablets, hybrids, battery extending cases and operating systems full of new features. So, the mobile computing dark ages begin? Jobs said the same regarding desktop computing in 1996. I think the web was obviously overlooked in his remark, but he was quite accurate regarding the desktop per se.
