Did anyone say Apple was going under? Remember, Apple had a lot of bad years between their original success, and their return in the late 90s. They didn’t go under, but they were not doing that well.
Apple will have other products. Every successful product that Apple launched was met with nasty naysaying by critics, only to become successful and the naysayers copied Apple and rolled out their own versions. Bill Gates was especially nasty with his comments. The iPod was soon copied as a Zune. The iPad was called an oversized iTouch and was said to be doomed to failure, but MS later rolled out a Surface.
When Apple runs out of ideas, they'll clone a Steve Jobs who will rescue the company with a new trailblazing product.
I was being facetious.
People have been badmouthing Apple and predicting their imminent demise for a long time, but somehow...there were just so many “fools” and “idiots” out there who liked using their products, and...they never quite made it all the way down.
I have never spoken about someone using Microsoft products in that tone that I often see in these threads, even though I have felt that way about Microsoft and its products itself quite often.
And I always disliked the Apple commercials that suggested without saying so, that people were dupes for using Windows products.
As an IT professional, I use and work with a multitude of platforms. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
