microsoft is shifting gears as a company steve ballmer their fugly CEO has outlined his battleplan to tie up the unfinished buisness they have that is apple inc.

he plans on moving in on their achillies heels which are their developing markets with supreme dominance and then wiping them out as a competitor. from there its simply a matter of time.

to quote steve ballmer:

"We are not going to let any piece of this. Not the consumer cloud. Not hardware software innovation. We are not leaving any of that to Apple by itself. Not going to happen. Not on our watch. We?re not going to leave any stone unturned, so to speak, as we pursue that."

in short apple.. your DONE!!!!!!

Because if there's one thing Ballmer has shown during his time as CEO, it's his ability to crank out hit product after hit product coupled with an uncanny ability to understand and connect with the consumer market.

it's not a matter of quality, it's a matter of how much it catches. it can't be the bestest thing ever, but if it doesn't grab any piece of the market pie, then it's as good as nothing.

Well good. Don't have to pay an excessive amount of money for a product often of inferior quality to other items on the market in that case.

I think MS underestimates just how big apple have become and how popular their products are with the faithfull masses, personally im not an apple fan at all but many many people are and for MS to say they gon bring them down is hugely optimistic in my eyes and i cant realistically see it happening.

Things could get ugly real soon.

I hear that one before... The last time was Zune vs Ipod.. Windows phones is something that simple will not fly,the people don't want them don't like em period they just want Androids or Iphones,so bad that in may Android control 59% of the market with apple controlling 23% and Windows phones like 3%.. From old people to young they are identifying better with Android and Ios than windows.

I actually think that if Apple release console it could reach more popularity way faster than MS ever did or i think even sony,that is how iphones are so popular,they ride on the ipod already great popularity,and the rest is history,apple fans are even more crazy and will fallow Apple longer and further than MS ones.

Just a wee bit too late. Apple has enough *cash* on hand to buy Microsoft. http://www.theirnetworth.com/Businesses/Microsoft/ (MS net worth)

I can't see how MS can really be anti-Apple when they released MS Office for Mac 2011 plus the impending release of the rumored MS Office for iPad.

How long have you had one, and has it broken down before? My uncles broke down as much as their consoles so he sold it for another brand of media player.

Microsoft is second fiddle to Apple nowadays. This is post-PC era. Even Apple's computer sales are much better than most PC companies. Apple only continues to go up, while other imitators go down.

It's a shame that people waste money on $1800 laptops when they can buy high-end PCs for less than $1500. That's $1800 per laptop that goes toward Apple and their funding of Foxconn and Taiwanese sweatshops.

Mr_BillGates

Thats terrible logic. Apples computer sales MAY be slightly more than HP, but the PC makers combined sales dwarf Apples computer sales. THis is the metric you must have when evaluating whether or not a sector is dying. And I would think you would know this, Bill Gates:lol:

Thank you for justifying every sales thread.
