An amazing (to me, anyway) article on the Marketwatch.com financial news site calls for Microsoft to dump its new bloated Vista operating system and keep the previous Windows XP system that users and developers much prefer. Yes, sales of Vista have been good but that's mainly because Microsoft has owned 95+% of the desktop operating system business for the last decade. Businesses have so much invested in Microsoft systems that they have no choice but to upgrade. But (apparently) most people hate Vista as an operating system.
It's amazing how prescient Bill Gates is looking as he steps down from active leadership of Microsoft in July. He's getting out just in time.
I checked the stock prices of Apple versus Microsoft over the last three years:
Three years ago Apple was trading at around $40. Today it's at $182 per share.
Three years ago Microsoft was trading at around $25. Today it will open at around $29.
If I needed to buy a new computer today, in which company's products (based on the company's performance) would I feel most confident investing?
