If Microsoft gets it's act back together, easier said than done, it
may make Google more than a bit uncomfortable. In the past MS hasn't
been above dirty tricks to maintain it's market share and probably
wouldn't be above such activities in gaining market share either. But
MS has the power of inertia behind it. Apple doesn't.

I suspect that if Microsoft had started making telephones, and MP3
players, they would have landed back in front of the US Senate on
combines investigation charges again.
I must admit, the iPad looks like a pretty cool toy, though time will
only tell if it grows up past that market.
I suspect I'd get one of those before I bought another laptop, since I
don't especially need a real computer when I'm traveling.
