Though this would be quite an audacious multi-year project, Microsoft actually is the best positioned company currently to compete with Apple. I've never been a Microsoft fan, but I actually think this would be a very good thing for the current state of personal computing, both desktop and mobile.
- astrodust 11y agoHaving another Apple-like company, one that takes its entire stack seriously, from hardware to user experience, would be a big win for the industry. Although I like Apple's products a lot, I'm constantly dismayed that other companies can't keep up. It's like the Chicago Bulls in their dominant era where there was basically no other team that could touch them, or Ferrari's F1 team at their peak where they'd basically never lose. Industries succeed when there's serious competition. Intel had to innovate because AMD was going to eat their lunch. Nikon can't take a break or Canon will trounce them.
