This was from Drew's YC dropbox application. It looks like it should have said "Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft would all unleash their cloud platforms at lower price points with software services sitting on top." Drew does have a very valid point: Being marginally better isn't good enough. I love Dropbox's service and I want them to win, but this pricing war is not great news for them.
