Apple vs. Microsoft

The debate will always* rage between Mac and PC users. I'm not going to go into my personal beliefs here except to say that I was once a Windows enthusiast, and now I'm a Mac enthusiast.

Today I read a great article by John Gruber at Daring Fireball about the state of Microsoft in the face of an ever growing competitor in its core marktet. I would recommend reading it. It definitely addresses a lot.

One of the things to keep in mind that I have noticed about Mac and PC television ads lately is this: Mac ads try to sell their state of the art operating system and computers while PC ads basically try to talk people into buying a cheaper computer so that they'll be stuck with Windows. They don't even care what brand you buy... they barely even say anything about Windows at all.

*will it?

That article is LONG but good. The iPhone is going to be a good machine at under $200 soon. All i need is the keyboard and monitor attachments

Yeah, someday it will be all you need. If computing power/price or size doubles every one to two years as Moore's law states, then it will be happening soon... Imagine what you would have thought of the iPhone 5 years ago.
