All you have to do is look at server 2012 which includes the new hyper visor for virtualization to see that Microsoft is changing the game. They even completely destroy the vmware 5 statistics side by side when comparing. The features are flat out amazing. New file system, new powershell, shared nothing ( no need for shared storage anymore with this feature). This also allows the mom and pop shops to run virtualization for their infrastructure that could previously not afford it on vmware.

So true . I believe the iphones and ipads are simply improved products these days. the only awesome product they have launched is ipad in the recent times. mini is just plain disappointment.

Just to be fair, Wozniak has pretty much said everything…it’s just a matter if someone is there to quote him. He is one of a kind! Wish he would do a podcast or something.

They have a very large desktop and tablet presense in enterprise but almost 0% on the infrastructure side.

Maybe today this is currently true but both companies have a long history of some pretty exciting innovation. I personally think that right now Apple is just enjoying their immense success and (incorrectly) thinking if it aint broke don’t fix it.

objectivity is the mark of an honest man. Woz can be objective, he’s not honor bound to some fan group in any way. join a club and expect derision from some other club, its just very counter productive and people spend time and money spinning their wheels for nothing.

Best i can tell, Apple’s presence in media work can be seen as something of an aberration. I suspect it comes down to force of habit, the the eventual professors starting out on early Macs and so recommending/demanding that their students use the same. This based on my personal Non-US observation that while MS have the local market locked up tight, Apple continues to show up in the hands of media students and their labs.

Agree that it is now Ms that is pushing the tablet envelop by merging its mobile and desktop ecosystems. Apple is sticking with keeping its device categories in their lanes and not letting horizontal functionality between the desktop OS and mobile OS.

The Surface Keyboard is nice and functions well. However, I do not think MS has hit the mark just yet. Innovation and more daring moves yes, but execution – No.

Apple’s recent execution has been poor as well – Siri and Maps are examples of step backwards in user experience. They have kept its devices contained within the confines of its supply chain planning thanks to Tim Cook. Jobs would use Cook to stretch his limitations and do things like buy out the supply of touch panel displays before the competition can. Perhaps, with Jbs still around, there would have been an ultra thin iPad Mini with Retina Display.

At this time, Cook has done a Greta job of expanding Apple’s supply chain to grow their ecosystem globally, but the constant onslaught of new Android builds and devices will create market share that Apple cannot fill with ONE flagship iPhone 5 and outdated iPhone 4 &4s models. Apple needs to expand its phone offering in order to keep up or phones like the HTC DNa, Galaxy Note and upcoming Windows phones continue to chip away at the excitement over iPhones.

I am an Apple guy, and I bugs me to say, but I agree with Woz. Apple has clearly abandoned cutting edge products in favor of mass-market appeal. Just take the Mac – they no longer produce servers (sorry, Mac Mini, no offense), the “flagship” MacPro line has not been updated in years, and OSX has remained largely the same for over a decade. And what if you want a monitor other than 27 inches??

Where Apple use to keep you guessing what’s next, they are now very predictable. Predictable about as far away as you can get from innovative.

So.. back to what Apple was doing without Jobs the last time?
No superhero in sight to come and save them this time however.

That comment is 100% clueless. Journalism. Design. Video. All fields dominated by apple desktops.

apple isnt much a technology company anyway, it has 000% presence in business, its 100% consumer.

Thanks Woz for confirming what we already know. Wasn’t there a guy named Captain Hindsight that did the same thing?

Wozniak notes that “improving is not Apple-style innovation”

lol thats all apple does in improve on existing tech. improved mp3 player, improved touchscreen phone, improved tablet pc etc.

I think he’s right… By the time a 3rd-generation Surface hits the market, I think we’ll know. A lot could happen between now and then, but I’m starting to consider future options.
