[apple and microsoft]

Wow. The other day I heard that Microsoft continues to battle with RIM's Blackberry with its "push e-mail" options but analysts say "that while they expect Microsoft to rapidly gain market share in the mobile e-mail sector, they don't necessarily expect it to catch up with RIM's BlackBerry offerings anytime soon." Its also been explained that wherever we see the Intel Centrino sticker it really means Microsoft XP and a little while ago the tv ads were screaming that the centrino is now in apple computers. Hrm...today's headline in the business section read: Apple shifts big, goes for XP users. I wonder what apple users will say...their computers might just start crashing now. The apple site hasn't yet updated their tag line saying "Want a crash course on the Mac? Lesson 1: It doesn’t crash. Built by the same folks who designed its rock-solid operating system and its award-winning applications, the Mac always starts up and never lets you down." It seems share holders are most optimistic as stock prices have soared almost 10%.
