I like what Apple is doing, but I hope Microsoft can build a viable competitor ecosystem. I do think Apple is good at beautiful, approachable products, but I think they make so many sacrifices in terms of power and usability to achieve it that we need a strong alternative from Microsoft. The iPad Air looks amazing for example, but compared to the OS-level features offered by tablet Windows 8.1, I think it's lacking.
