Imagine a World Without Microsoft
Okay this is strange scenario I know, but imagine, Microsoft suddenly imploding due to the down tern in the economy.
So its January 1st 2009, every Apple user is enjoying their new iPods, Macbooks and iPhones, awaiting for Macworld ‘09 when suddenly, the news pops on TV and the news crew say, Microsoft is no more. No more MSN, No More Windows, No more 360 & No more service packs. Finally!!!
So what would happen, like the hardcore Microsoft hater I am, I would start singing celebration, by Kool & The Gang like all the other Mac fans would lol.
The disappearance of Microsoft Windows from the computer Industry, would cause a mountain of confusion with OEM’s. Who would really fill in the massive gap, certainly not Apple, Steve Jobs would never want Mac OS X running on such awful hardware and I wouldn’t either, because Apple would then just become the next Microsoft.
I could probably imagine all the major OEM’s trying to bully Apple into licensing, Mac OS X, when Steve refuses, then the companies would probably go under and be no more or they would try and adopt a Linux Operating system & make it an industry standard.
Without Microsoft Windows slowing down the computer industry, computers could really take off, Apple would be the new power leader and I’m guessing Linux would also do very well too.
