"I don’t agree with you on this one. I don’t think anyone can legitimately argue that having more choice in this case is bad for the consumer. As much as we want the epic feeling of three tech giants fighting against each other and hoping for an ultimate winner to emerge, the reality is that all three companies complement each other. They may compete with each other in many areas, but all the same they also help fill each others’ voids. Take me as an example. I use a Windows 7 PC for both work and at home. My phone is an iPhone, and despite its flakiness on Wnidows, I use iTunes as my primary media player. I use GMail for my personal email, and iGoogle for my web browser start page, even though I use Bing (US version) as my main search engine. At work, we use SharePoint and Exchange for productivity and collaboration. My destination of choice for viewing movie trailers? You got it… the Apple Movie Trailers site, which I visit at least once a week. I can’t say I would be any happier or..." - Jonathan Wong

"They see their stock value nosedive by 40% on the day that this was announced." - Jonathan Wong

"This is an op-ed piece, so this is just one person’s opinion on the three companies and how they are characterized. YMMV. However, I will suggest that Microsoft is one of the main reasons why we live in a world today where ample commoditized computing power is everywhere. They are the ones that helped lead the computer revolution for the past two decades. And we can’t deny the fact that millions of companies and enterprises today do depend on them in a day-in-day-out basis. I like your pick-up artist analogy. However, since we are not in the real world and we are in the world of analogies and metaphors, I would argue that everyone should be a pick-up artist. Because I believe we are all sophisticated enough and diversified enough that frankly speaking, not any one girl can entirely satisfy all of our needs, or even 80% of them. Why settle for adequacy when you can have it all?" - Jonathan Wong

"Yeah, currently Windows Mobile is like the ugly stepchild of the Windows family right now. However, I have faith that Windows Mobile 7 will finally make Windows Mobile right, just like Windows 7 made Windows Vista right. I do think Apple cares a ton about gaming – just perhaps not desktop gaming. Apple is being very aggressive in the hand-held gaming space, trying to position the iPhone and the iPod Touch as a viable competitor to the PSP and Nintendo DS. I dare say 60-70% of the apps in the iTunes App Store are games…" - Jonathan Wong

"Well, there’s always BootCamp you know, if you still want the Mac experience but also want to have a go at Windows 7." - Jonathan Wong
