Steve Troughton-SmithThere are folks who still, to this day, won't touch Microsoft products because of Microsoft's behavior in the 90s — nearly 30 years later. People have long memories. Apple today makes 90s Microsoft look like a saint
Robert J. Berger@stroughtonsmith Sorry but there is no comparison. Microsoft set back computing by decades. Apple is doing completely different things that may not be good, but they are business things. They are not destroying or setting back computing in general.
@rberger …you're joking, right? You don't think 16 years of the App Store has set back computing? There's almost no other kind of computing left!
TransitBiker@stroughtonsmith @rberger early days App Store was an absolute chaotic mess. There was that one app that you could pay thousands of dollars for literally nothing.
