- Daneel_ 2y agoHow so? Because younger kids are using more macs and will want to take that into the workplace? Microsoft has the enterprise virtually locked up still. I don’t see most companies offering macbooks as an option. Linux though? My former university uses it as their desktop OS on all machines. I really do think Linux is the threat, not apple.
- poulpy123 2y agoBecause Apple has the money, the knowledge, control all the chain from the hardware to the software, and is a trendy company.
- reginald78 2y agoI'd say they're more a threat because of iOS than macs. This thread is replete with everyone ignoring that your average laptop/desktop user who wasn't much of a gamer probably abandoned laptop/desktops for a mobile phone only life years ago. PC Gamers may well be the largest remaining consumer segment on Windows but that segment pales in comparison to the corporate space where Windows is going to remain strong for the foreseeable future.
- ozornin 2y agoI don't believe Apple is ever going to compete with MS in government sector nor in classic corporate
- philistine 2y agoSure, but if Microsoft is relegated to corporate, they'll make money hand over fist but Windows will lose all relevance for future growth. Like IBM.
