Apple and Microsoft are closer than people think. That doesn't mean to say I like Apple, well I like some of their products, I just don't like them as company and had a passionate hatred for Steve Jobs, but Apple and Microsoft share the same unease, or wariness for google. Microsoft and Apple have shares in each other so I could imagine that if push came to shove Apple and MS would side with each other (which they have done already). Succeeding in a business is great but google are growing too big too fast and are abusing their market share and power. They will collapse, they wont rule the world like people think they will because at the end of the day google are not forcing anyone to buy their products or use their services. Microsoft are now on the up and are becoming very competitive while maintaining their trusty old values and ways of doing things. Im only just turning 17 and I have been using MS products and services growing up and still are and its like an old friend using a windows computer or sending an email via outlook (despite the fact both are now very different from what they used to be). Much love for MS, thy wont let google take over completely without a fight.
