Well I guess that is what we come to expect for the anti-Apple, pro-Anything-but-Apple 'anal ysts'.

In the absence of clearly defined, universal and flexible definitions of both the hardware-OS and OS-application boundary layers, the business model followed by Microsoft and Google will always be defeated by a carefully controlled, vertically integ…

What a remarkable claim by Ellison. Apple is so far ahead of its competition in terms of developing a coherent, secure, flexible, profitable and expandable hardware/software platform that it will take the better part of a decade for competitors to c…

One could add to this history by mentioning the development of the iTunes store and its associated App Store and iBook Store. These are really significant advances in the distribution and marketing of electronic goods which, as far as I know, were p…

This DOJ decision is a farce because it props up a business model that is well past its use by date, whereby product distributors (e.g., Amazon) can fix prices of some products to promote the sale of other products, (e.g., lowering the prices of e…

I wonder how long it will take for Microsoft to understand that not all people want their tablet computers to be like a Windows desktop computer or want to enrol in an expensive computer training program to learn how to use their tablet computers. T…

What's that laughter I hear rolling across the Pacific? A tsunami? Oh no, it is just Steve Jobs laughing hysterically from his grave at the dumb idiots at Google who thought this was a good product idea. Steve would have blown his top right off if…

Very astute argument Dan. It absolutely staggers me that none of the big IT companies have had the sense to do what Steve Jobs started at Apple with the iMac and Mac OSX, and that the shareholders of those companies have not started demanding the …

A brilliant exposition on why Apple's whole ecosystem strategy will always beat the 'cheap and nasty' strategies adopted by the vast majority of IT suppliers for the last 40 years. Companies like Microsoft and Google, and the companies that ultimate…

The DoJ case is based on a wholly fallacious assumption that the Agency model is anti-competitive. Wholesalers of books (like Amazon) add absolutely no value to the book other than allowing it to be distributed widely, just as wholesalers of softwar…

The new Mac Pro looks very interesting.The pricing will be even more interesting. But what will be most interesting is how 'cheap as chips' Windows PC makers like HP and Dell will react to it. A lot of traditional PC buyers might be greatly …

"People (Wall Street) are worthless idiots." Oh yes, oh yes! When did these jumped-up fools invent anything of real value to society? Their role in 'inventing' the GFC should never, ever be forgotten.

To me, this says it all ... "Apple is a cash machine because Apple has invested in building great products. And that means building the talent to conceptualize, develop, orchestrate, deliver and support those products. That's something Apple's compe…

Excellent article Dan. I think your point about a 'sticky platform' strategy is absolutely critical, and that strategy will always beat the 'cheap and nasty' strategy in the long-term. But, as you say, the 'sticky platform' strategy won't work fore…

While I can easily imagine Apple releasing an iWatch product that does a lot of amazing things borrowed from the iPod and iPhone, I find the idea of a Windows Watch rather difficult to grasp. Still, I guess Steve Balmer will be able to think up a …

I am confused! Could someone please provide a simple table that summarises all the tablet options offered by Microsoft? Thanks!
