Since that time, I've seen Apple go through two major OS changes,
(68xxx, PPC and lastly Intel), and while each of these changes
certainly advanced the user's experience, I have detected a
creaping feeling of the heavy thumb of Applelonian control. (How's
that for a new word? <G>)
If things turn out as many are suggesting, Apple's ascension may
run smack into a brick wall.
It's just how things work...
And the " predictive logic " operating system and hardware may well
be that brick wall. For MS too.
I think that MS has already become a mature organization. They
simply don't have a "Jobs" type leadership that truly innovates.
Some years back, Michael Dell made an utterance to the effect, "We
are now in Chapter X of computing and when Chapter Xx is written,
Apple won't be in it." If one follows stocks at all, Dell's been
languishing in the cellar while Apple's in the stratosphere. But
this doesn't mean that Apple is imune from self destructing. Just
look at last week's girations after Apple revealed iPad sales below
expectations, (regardless of reason).
Apple with all its cash needs to take care of its customers/followers
better. There's only so much abuse that folks will tolerate and in
my view, they are reaching that point...
