I think that one of the biggest advantages that Apple has which is kind of a dark-horse thing is that since iOS I think it was 2 or 3 they've really been consistently pounding away on the enterprise integration it's not something that we think about very much as consumers but the the iOS enterprise integration is really good for exchange and Active Directory and all those kinds of services especially Microsoft services so iPad an iPhone worked really really well for fortune 500 companies which i
only Microsoft is doing this right now
this new app this new tablet has a USB port that means anybody can make a device anybody can plug anything into it and the whole you know obsessor e-business on surface will be open without having to beg Apple for permission
I kind of hope that they're gonna they should open standard it they should give it away for free I mean this is how Microsoft really needs to compete with Apple is to make these kind of innovations open source allow everybody to build off of it and then they can fight Apple where they're weakest which is on the open source front and the closeness of the system

I actually think you know they're catching a lot of flak for it and a lot of people you know oh my god Microsoft is building hardware but Microsoft this build hardware for a very long time and you know I actually this was a kind of bigger point of contention a few years ago and I said I actually sat down and go get some time I was asking about this and you know those perspective was they will build Hardware always there will always be hardware if it makes sense because the hardware and software
I think that one of the biggest advantages that Apple has which is kind of a dark-horse thing is that since iOS I think it was 2 or 3 they've really been consistently pounding away on the enterprise integration ... so iPad an iPhone worked really really well for fortune 500 companies which is why they're deploying so aggressively they might actually for quite a while so we're better than whatever Microsoft is producing
I mean this is just a classic Microsoft get it together pick one but I mean it was it good names from products these are they're not snappy they're not sexy
I think it might be Windows Phone which is to say that it will at least a start out I think it's going to be a massive success but I don't think it's gonna belly flop either I think it's just gonna be a slow burn for them and you know hopefully over a long that period of time though they'll start to edge their way into the market
I think it's so brilliant on Twitter's part because when you are in Twitter you could say send my tweets like just in the interface now ...
I think this is a great first shot and I think it's going to be a recruiting tool
it's clearly a recruiting tool
