558325 2007-06-13 10:35:00 Generally the hype and successes of Apple products is something that Microsoft can only wish for at it's various product releases. While Apple has had a number of products that haven't lived up to expectations for various reasons - the Windows adoption rate amongst PC users of Safari may be one of those casualties. It will be interesting to see how further releases go.

Apple has also had more than its fair share of very successful products and continues to do so.

558327 2007-06-13 11:02:00 I understand the point you are making but the only test that counts is how quickly a given web page you want to see appears on your screen after you click the link to it, all the rest is BS, subjectivity is what counts, so, you say one can have the fastest browser but it is slower because of outside influences, that is just what I don't want. zqwerty (97)

I know I shouldn't respond to your dribble, and I have as much distaste for MS as I do for Apple but come on, Overall MS products have out sold Apple by millions to 1. There is no denying that Apple have had plenty of success but they don't sit anywhere close to MS. Apple I'm sure wishes they had the type of success that MS has.

If your referring to Windows OS and MS Office which are and have been Microsoft's main sources of income at 80% of revenue source (Windows server licensing probably brings in the other 20%) then yes, absolutely afterall MS used to make more money from software for Apple than Apple did from hardware I think. However for products other than Windows and Office? Can you name any that are actually profitable for Microsoft not counting Windows server licenses?

558330 2007-06-13 11:51:00 None of that changes the simple fact that in overall sales MS kills Apple.

But, Heres the kicker.

Only retards and fanboys care.

Well with 90%+ OS market share they should although if you look at the profitability of each company in relation to size, MS should be doing a lot better than it is.
MS is worth approx $300 billion US with about $29 billion cash in the bank
Apple is worth $100 billion US with about 6% world wide market share with about $12 billion cash in the bank and growing at a rate of about 30% per year...

MS has become another IBM, big and stagnant.
