"When they see what mine does that their iPad doesn't, they'll never buy Apple again..."? How do you want to impress people? Opening a shell? Read the kernel version? Apple is hot about things that matter for customers! Geeks don't get that.Posted on Aug 26, 03:01
What "past experience" says "open" eventually wins? Is this the same experience that foretold the iPhone would be a failure?Posted on Aug 26, 03:00
hmm so you compare 2 Operating Systems - one is available on multiple devices - the other one is bound to one device.They are no real competitors in my opinion- because they have completely different target groups.

It's easy to make predictions about unreleased products. Steve Balmer made all kinds of predictions about the HP notebook--just before they scrapped it.But until Acer has a tablet that the world can play with, they should avoid bragging too much.

Mr. Wang is, sadly, assuming the people who buy things like the iPad have even heard the term "open OS" - much less have any idea what that means.
