Story: Microsoft can't out-cool Apple
Posted by: Matt (Monday 4 October 2004, 7:24 PM)
Hey, I love Macs. I have 4 of them, and I even convinced my Windows-centric employer to let me have a G5 at work.
But this analysis seems overly simplistic. No mention was made of what MS has been able to accomplish with Xbox. And with XBox 2, they will probably erase the 1-year lead Sony had with the original XBox. This means the race for 1st place will be much closer on the 2nd gen machines.
If they can market a video game system, that is quite frankly pretty cool, then they have the capability to market other convergence devices. What MS platform finally succeeds though probably won't be anywhere near as open as Windows.
