Where all this is going....
You can see where all this is going and understand why there was no Leopard, iLife 07 and new Macs last Tuesday..... Multitouch is at the core of all this..... Leopard enabled MacBooks will have Multitouch on their screens... imagine rather than using your touchpad that you can scroll pages, resize objects and select items on the screen. iLife 07 will have these features and even now if you touch your laptop screen you can see how easy it would be......
Another wonderful thing about the iPhone is the OS X experience. What Microsoft did so well at in the 90's was protect Windows and bought every company that produced a device that could eventually produce a new OS that could challenge Windows. MS missed the boat by introducing Zune 5 years into iPods first release. You see when iPod 07 is released and the iPhone; 40, 50, 60, 70 - 100 million will be using Safari and getting to know the OS X experience.... suddenly the jump that was a little large for some from iPod (5G) to Mac is not as large from iPhone/iPod07 to Mac.......
When Microsoft saw the iPhone releases they would have said ?oh s$%£%& !? ? not because its an iPod/Phone but because it?s a direct threat on Microsoft?s cashcow and the one business that funds everything else? Windows.
I can see that there would be an emergency meeting held in Redmond this week to devise a strategy to combat this?. I can see Microsoft going on a spending spree to purchase companies that make touch screen interfaces.
Finally Apple is making great products and has a business strategy.
