Dan Lyons of Newsweek asks, “Remember how AOL used to be cool, but then became the service used only by people who didn’t know any better? Microsoft is heading down that path.”

He quotes a Microsoft exec who says, “You fly business class today, and it’s nothing but Macs.” Astonishingly, one of those Mac users is the Microsoft exec himself.

If it is true that Microsoft has lost its “cool” factor, and that it is used because of IT department preference, then lots of users are with Windows because they must be, not because they want to be.

His conclusion? That “Windows is IT. It’s Industrial and it’s useful. The Mac is something more, and that is why more and more people choose to buy it.”
