Paul Rubens voices an update on an archaic, ill-informed, terroristic threatening perspective on Apple, the Mac, the iPhone, iTunes App Store:
Apple is not really a computer company. It makes toys. It used to be a computer company called Apple Computer, but it dropped the “Computer” bit from its name in January 2007 as a tacit admission that it was now a consumer gadget maker, not to mention an online music retailer.
According to Rubens, Apple “can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.” Microsoft, on the other hand, can:
Microsoft is huge, and it is quite capable of doing more than one thing at a time. During the past two years, it worked on Vista, Windows Server 2008, the Hyper-V virtualization system and the Zune — all at the very same time.
So, how is Vista working out in the enterprise, Paul? It’s being shunned almost as bad as the Zune, no?
