Apple the new microsoft?

Do you think in the years to come, Microsoft will find it a lot harder to compete with the new (hip) Apple? Specifically in Software. Apple also dominates the online music industry, they're computer hardware sets world standerd, can't forget Ipods and the Iphone are a household name now.



Will Microsoft lose it's grip on the world due to Apple? Will Apple take it's place?

Doubtful. The biggest problem that Apple faces is that their computer hardware is expensive. Microsoft doesn't sell computer hardware, they just sell software, so Windows can run on practically anything. But the cost of Macs is the biggest barrier to getting market penetration. I build my own computers, and I can build two screaming PCs for the cost of one iMac, plus I have the ability to customize my own hardware to a higher degree. For most people, the bottom line is the bottom line. If Apple were to drop prices by about 25% then they might make more progress, but at this point the high cost is a barrier that will be difficult to overcome.
No.



A lot of Apple fanboys would like to think that, but it just simply won't happen. Let's face it, Macs cost more money, have few games and a lot of people wouldn't call them "hip".
