“Microsoft is about technological innovation, while Apple is about marketing and selling overpriced devices.”
Apple isn’t about technological innovation? Who knew? Mr. Ballmer, I’m not buying it.
Have you used Windows 8? Have you used Mountain Lion. I’ve seen both. I can tell you that there is very little innovative about Mountain Lion. Its pretty, it adds in some iOS stuff, but its not that different from Lion, which wasn’t that different from Snow Leopard. Very incremental improvements.
Windows 8 is a whole new ball game. Totally different than Windows 7. It leapfrogs the competition. I’m not trying to start a holy war with Apple fanboys, but that is my informed opinion. If you disagree, thats fine. Thats why the free market and consumer choice is a good thing.
