Apple demotes the laptop, desktop to a “device”, really?

Apple pronounces that your investment in learning how to customize your storage, use in the manner you wish, has just been demoted.  That’s right, your machine has been demoted.  Apple said, it must be true.

And what do you get from Apple? 5 Gigabytes of storage.  Really?  With Microsoft you get 25 Gigabytes on Skydrive, and if you have more than one LiveID you get more.  And generally you get to store what you want, not what Microsoft orders you to store.

Is your music illegal in your mind?  Well Apple declares that they will host your illegal software.  Microsoft makes DRM, and yes there have been problems, but how do artists prove that they want to be paid?  It’s a hard thing, but I think Microsoft does a better job.

I guess that Apple understands their customers and knows what to tell them to do.

I might be a Microsoft Fanboy, but I think that Microsoft doesn’t want to waste time telling you what to do.  We would like for you to buy our stuff because it helps you to manage your life better.

Plus, you can make a ton of money off of Kinect, Azure, Visual Studio, Office 2010, Office 365, Sharepoint, Windows Phone 7 and XBox. 

Looks like Apple wants to make you use their stuff and like it.
