  1. Re:Unbelievable on Microsoft's New Mantra - It Just Works · · Score: 1

    For having over 25 million customers, its a relatively large niche.

    Yes it is fun, its like watching the bit in Fight Club where Jack realises he is Tyler Durden. Tyler does everything Jack wants to do and more but won't handle the responsibilty himself until the end. Apple is Tyler Durden and Jack is Microsoft.
    So when Microsoft realise they are Apple its because they have no identity and simply do what they really hope to do in their R n' D powerhouse, erm excuse me, I mean Apple!
    My metaphors suck but what the hell!
