How Microsoft blindsided vulnerable Apple with Windows 7

lmao! Rob Enderle is a genius! This article is pure jokes, start to finish. Completely oblivious nattering.

First off, why is this article written in the past tense, as if something that clearly hasn’t happened already happened. The entire thesis is incorrect, yet it’s written as some kind of future fact.

Just reading the first line makes me cringe with embarrassment for this guy. (Unless, as Gruber suggests, Rob Enderle is simply a parody, at which point the embarrassment is the intent. Otherwise, this is sad and I find it disappointing, to say the least, that he’s a paid analyst.)

Really, is there anything about the adjectives in the title that could be considered even remotely based in reality?

Blindsided? How is that possible? Any idiot can see Windows 7 is a vast improvement over any other version of Windows. And it’s been available for preview for many, many months, so I’m sure the idiots at Apple had their heads wrapped around the potential of Windows 7 for quite some time. Further, these two companies are barely operating in the same market, as evidence by Apple’s growing dominance of the plus-$1000 PC Market (66% in first quarter 2008 to 91% in 2009). Vulnerable? Please.

Secondly, what’s this about touch having nothing to do with mouse? Last I checked, that’s all I do with my mouse. Touch it. Softly. And press it. Gently. Mmm.
