Windows 7 Can Be a Success Without Hurting Apple

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 15th Oct 2009 21:33 UTC

On October 22, Microsoft will unleash the much-anticipated Windows 7. After the commercial disaster that is Windows Vista, it is believed the new release will turn the tide for the world's biggest software maker. A lot of people also believe it will put a halt to Mac OS X's growth, but I personally think we need to remember the timeless quote form Steve Jobs: "We have to let go of the notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose."

However, when will Microsoft let go of the notion that for MS to win, everyone else has to be put out of business? Not in our lifetimes

You never know. Maybe once Ballmer is retired, we'll see changes from Microsoft.

The only thing I can think of is that the chairs will breathe a little easier, but not much else will happen with MS's culture as long as Gates is there.
