    Microsoft will be cool again and Apple will become the new Microsoft. Everything is repeating itself. We're in a loop.

    • I agree with mono here... successful doesn't mean cool. people used windows out of necessity and it was the flavor of the cubicle.since1979
    • apple had its head up its own ass for so long that they dropped the ball in the early 90s. also their closed system could only go so far...since1979
    • you guys know why most of the atm machines run windows? or why was ms so strong in education in europe?sted
    • they didn't had a better product, or indispensable features just a better business strategy nothing more.sted
    • since vista they try to be cool and get into a market what's dominated by apple, now these aspirations have come to fruitionsted

    • 'Not hated' ... bennn, _everyone_ hate Windows and Office back in the day.
