Tim Cook: Apple Won't Create 'Converged' MacBook and iPad (independent.ie)
LichtSpektren writes: In an interview with Independent.ie, Apple CEO Tim Cook has stated that Apple is currently not looking to create an iPad that runs Mac OS X. "We feel strongly that customers are not really looking for a converged Mac and iPad, because what that would wind up doing, or what we're worried would happen, is that neither experience would be as good as the customer wants. So we want to make the best tablet in the world and the best Mac in the world. And putting those two together would not achieve either. You'd begin to compromise in different ways." Cook also commented that he does not travel with a Mac anymore, only his iPad Pro and iPhone.
And from Microsoft's perspective ... why come up with a good mobile platform when you can sell the same bloated OS you use on the desktop and just ship it for devices using the same hardware you've used for 20 years?
See, it works both ways.
Except Apple built something new, and Microsoft just keeps doing the same thing over and over and trying to tell us that is innovation.
It's like Microsoft just want to keep reinforcing the same stereotypes from the "I"m a PC/I'm a Mac" commercials -- that they're the lumbering beast who only sees the world in their outdated way.
Microsoft is being the opposite of innovative here.
