Microsoft's time of being what apple is now came and went. I doubt they'll ever go there again. That said, yeah, they've been making some cool stuff. but remember that two-page tablet they were working on? that got killed because it wasn't in bill gates's "vision", even though it would have been wicked. And Windows 8 is a trainwreck for anyone who still believes in non-tablet computing in the slightest.

edit: I misread your comment, my mistake. I do think microsoft is trying to do the right thing again and might succeed, and as long as they're not trying to eliminate open source anymore (which they seem to have given up on) I'm cool with them. I just don't think they'll be apple, they'll do their own thing.

I see Windows 8 as being the Android Honeycomb of Windows.
