Apple released iPad, HP is going to release Slate, some rumors about Windows 8 and Zune phone.. While all the things happening on the world around i just thought to centralize all those things into one place.
With the release of Windows 7 Microsoft surprise the world in last year. can the software giant continue his legacy ? Linux and Mac OS X were the major competitors for Windows for quite a lot of time but windows prevailed its legacy on the market without too many difficulties. historically Microsoft has made up to 98% of his revenue through partners like HP and Dell but it doesn't seem to be continued. Dell and some of the other PC vendors have a tendency to go for Linux now. Not only Linux and Mac OS X Google the search engine giant recently entered into the scene with their new OS, Chrome OS which is also a Linux variant.
Google however invade everything without doubt he is the search engine giant and then challenge Microsoft with Chrome OS and also with their Nexus one phone and Android they are going to challenge Apple iPhone.
recently Steve Job said “We did not enter the search business,They entered the phone business. Make no mistake: they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them.” he did not stop he said to Google "don’t be evil".
However Steve Jobs did not have faith on Adobe or Adobe Flash according to him Flash is buggy and crash prone.
“Adobe is lazy. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash. The world is moving to HTML5.”
so, that's the reason why Apple don't support Flash on iPad or iPhone.today, Adobe CTO Kevin Lynch made a reply to Steve Jobs he defended Flash and warns HTML 5 will throw the web back to the dark age of videos. but the battle will continue..
Sun on the other hand was bought by Oracle. so, some people doubt whether it is a blow for opensource. however Oracle is going to challenge Microsoft Office with a new cloud version of Open Office and IBM is also taking on Microsoft sharepoint with Lotus.
everything is a competition everyone challenges but some day it will affect the normal user in a good way because competition makes the best out of best.
Kesh,
We should get used to love this kind of competition. After all, this is what keeps the technology improving day by day. Though I myself am an advocate of open source, I hail the competition now Bing is giving Google. But Oracle in place of Sun seems a bit awkward, though. :)
