"These days it's hard to find a pundit willing to question Apple's long-term prospects or the calls of its famous CEO, Steve Jobs. After all, Apple's fortunes have been on the rise for nearly a half-decade now, and they seem to be only gaining steam. That is, unless you're Clayton M. Christensen, the Harvard professor and author of the seminal 1997 book 'The Innovator's Dilemma'. Christensen, who more recently wrote 'Seeing What's Next: Using Theories of Innovation to Predict Industry Change', isn't willing to jump on the Apple bandwagon just yet. As well as Jobs & Co. is performing now, Christensen fears that success is built on a strategy that won't stand the test of time."

It think that the author needs to remember that we now have a 20 year history of Microsoft "Innovation". And, because of that No Sane Person wants to pick a Microsoft solution against a competitor.
Do we want our IPod's crashing? Nope.
Any competitor who wants to compete needs to come up with something completely different, not based upon a microsoft framework. That will cost money.
It's possible someone will take over Apple's lead.
It's just not probable.
