Reply #82: It's not that Apple is so great, it's just that Microsoft fails so badly. [View All]

Microsoft doesn't exactly fail at everything, Windows 7 is definitely nice, and XP SP2 was pretty solid.

They fail miserably when it comes to product (especially hardware) development. They could be on par with, or best Apple if they produced their own PC's, a Zune that's better than the ipod, and a wireless device that can beat out the iphone.

Instead of this, MS drops most everything into software & they should move away from that in some respects. MS Office is fairly irrelevant anymore and should be dropped. Open office is a much better (and free) alternative. Hardware is where it's at & Apple recognized that, so that's why they're on top.

*Sigh* If only I could run Microsoft.
