Something will happen, that's for sure....

On: Will Apple and Microsoft Renew their Vows?

I have to imagine it will all get sorted out in the end. Steve JObs has said some nasty things about Microsoft, a la:

Microsoft...has no class. I don't mean that in a small way, I mean it in a big way.
--Revenge of the Nerds

But he's also expressed some quasi-positive remarks, noting that:

If you all want Word and Excel so much, you have to learn to like this guy.
--Calming a booing MacWorld Expo crowd when Bill's head loomed at them on the big screen.

People like using Office (especially v.X--that thing is pretty--wow). Microsoft likes Apple marketing a viable OS for non-technical users. They may not be in each others' contractually obligated pockets as much, but I'm confident that Apple has enough awareness of Microsoft's hegemony and Microsoft has enough awareness of Apple's ingenuity to just warily stare at the other guy through the future.
