Better to be with THE leader in all things creative than a slave to proprietary Microsoft who is only capable of following and badly at that.
Microsft has never succeeded in a market where it can't force customers to use it's "good enough" offerings. Apple is the computer industries creative engine and market leader and HP is very smart to go with the winner since digital media integration and creation is the next wave in computing and Apple has ALWAYS owned this market. Microsft will no doubt keep the spreadsheet and word prcessing markets, of last century, after all it only requires the capabilities of the average calculator to do those things. Creative digital media requires many new skills, completely unkmnown to Microsoft, and following five years late with "good enough" products is Not going to compete with elegant consumer enpowering offerings from visionaries at Apple offered TODAY!
