Android Won. Windows Lost. Now what?
Authored by: tiger99 on Monday, December 10 2012 @ 10:26 AM EST
Yes, extrapolation can lead to absurd conclusions, but even if the rise of Android is not as fast as predicted, its competitors are already in deep trouble. The rate of deployment of Android is rising at the moment, as is the second derivative, so it is probably a long way from levelling off, and that alone means problems, first for M$, and secondly for Apple.

M$ ignored the first rule of marketing, that timing is all-important, and being very late could never have become significant in either phones or tablets, even if their products were any good. Apple understood the first rule of marketing, but failed to realise that a much higher price than the competition is unsustainable in a free market, and secondarily, that people don't like bad corporate behaviour.

In the mid to late 1990s Linus gave a few talks entitled (tongue in cheek)
'World Domination 101'. Turned out to be the truth though. <grin>
