Basically it boils down to me wondering if Microsoft as a brand requires outside innovation just to make a viable product.
Apple's apparent "smugness" can also be interpreted as confidence. They believe that their product is superior in a direct way to Microsoft's so they attack it directly.
Comparatively:
Apple says: "My product is awesome, you are awesome, we should hook up  "
Microsoft says: "My product is awesome because you had to tell me how to be awesome"
Which one do you want to have sex with? |
I'd bet only the 2nd one would do ATM since I would be telling it how to be awesome.
