What a silly and fairly meaningless article. There is SOME crossover with what the companies do but they are really Apples and oranges(or lemons in the case of MS) companies.
Microsoft is primarily a software/OS company. Apple is primarily a hardware vendor.
As software becomes more web based and open source... Microsoft is losing it's relevance. It's funny becaiue right now Apple is being very MS-esque in it's closed market tactics and could be facing the same fate in a few short years..
MS had a real shot at getting back in the game with Courier or something like it... they dropped the ball and I just can't imagine them getting back in the game ... especially with the asshats they have managing them at the moment.
If Google accomplishes their goals for ChromiumOS... I could see MS going away very quickly. And good riddance.
