“A lot has changed over the past decade. But one thing that
hasn’t are the worn out sets of beliefs, ideologies and arguments

in the same industry than to work against them.

“There’s more to life than the OS, and even Microsoft and Apple
now acknowledge this. Rather than alienate those who have chosen a
competitor’s platform, it’s far better to try to sell them
something else, like an iPhone or a copy of Office for the
Mac.”
