iMac killer from Microsoft
- jacquesm 10y agoYou can't really design an iMac killer up front. You can position something to compete with the iMac, and then, after you've sold a very large number of them and your competitor (Apple in this case) has been unable to match you stride-for-stride you might conclude that it was - in the end - an iMac killer. But given MS's track record to date with 'killer' projects (Zune, anybody?, Windows phone, perhaps?) I'd not hold my breath until they have accomplished the stated goal.
- facorreia 10y agoThat makes sense, but is Microsoft saying that this device will "kill" the iMac (whatever that means), or is this just a catchy phrase that journalists like to use?
- jrnichols 10y agoI think that it's just a catchy phrase, especially considering the source. I can't really see Microsoft really trying to go up against Apple these days. For both of them, Google is a way bigger adversary.
