Your attempts at raising a forest of strawman arguments for you to easily shoot down is failing miserably. You'll find it doesn't work too well around here, my FRiend. The article did not make the points you keep raising nor have the posters you are trying to put words into the mouths of. We don't fall for logical fallacies too often on FreeRepublic and especially in Apple threads.
Oh I see, the desktop is dead, unless that desktop is running a Mac Operating system, then it is the coolest shiniest thing ever and everyone must buy one right?
How many on the road sales guys have desktops? Why?
I have a feeling they would have smartphones, Apple or otherwise....
Think about efficiency, not your fanboism.
No no, thanks though Swordmaker. I’m not insulted by him and honestly didn’t intend to insult him either.
I run a Microsoft shop, actually. I’m just saying that it’s obvious as hell Microsoft is just making it up as they go along and hoping something sticks, and that’s true all across the company. I don’t like a lot of what I’m seeing right now and I don’t think end users do either whether its Microsoft’s consumer phones, tablets, productivity software, dev tools (especially the licensing part), or back office server OSes. The market don’t lie.
In contrast, every Apple Store is standing room only from the moment they open in the morning. Dudes, I’m not making this shit up. Go look.
Now, Win10 is pretty good, I guess. I use it. I mean, it’s not as if the PC user base is ever going to stampede over to putting Linux on their new Dell/HP laptops. That’s just a nerdy futile gesture guaranteed to get you 3.75 hours of battery life if you’re lucky. Every back office Linux dork I know has a MacBook Pro regardless of Linus Torvald’s opinion on OSX.
