Even Jobs himself used the car/truck analogy to compare OS X to iOS. I think he's right. These are separate products. One is for work, the other one is more general purpose. There will always be more cars than trucks, but there will always be a need for trucks. You're not going to be hauling manure or towing a boat in a car.
The question for MS is will they be OK with selling trucks in a car world? Will they be satisfied with how much money they would make selling only trucks to farmers and construction companies?
I say MS needs to make cars and trucks. They need to make the best trucks out there without compromises. The best cars without compromises. Not this weird car/truck hybrid.
- alexcason 13y agoI agree. As with most bad products and failing companies, the problem here is focus. Microsoft need to have a vision about what products they want to create and go about making them with a singular focus on producing something which customers will love. It's not about abandoning consumer software or business software, it's about making something great, regardless of it's purpose.
