Now, I hope I don’t lose respect from friends and colleagues for what I am about to write. And, I can’t believe I am even writing this after my experience with Vista, as it has not been great. But, here it is—I don’t like Apple. I actually think I might not like Steve Jobs.
Yes, the products are gorgeous, designs are hip, sexy, cool. Every good looking man and
attractive woman has an iPhone. It is like to be cool one must have an iPhone. But, they are expensive. And the technology is totally closed. I really hate the commercials too. I am officially starting to feel sorry for Microsoft. Yes, I feel sorry for Microsoft. And, those commercials have made me not like Apple even more and really not like Steve Jobs.
Ok…Google versus Yahoo. I don’t like Google either. I am like the anti-Christ. I am a woman in technology here in San Francisco and I am writing blasphemies. Everyone loves Apple and Google and I prefer Microsoft and Yahoo. So…after this week to witness the possible merger (or shall I write acquisition) between Microsoft and Yahoo is almost funny. Two companies that for some reason I now have a soft spot in my heart. I think I would like to see a merger/acquisition. But, the merger didn’t go threw and the two companies still stand. And, while they might not be Apple and Google, I have faith in the companies. I do wish that Yahoo could reclaim its status, but the Google giant is strong.
