I'm with Ed Bott on this one...
No question Apple deserves credit for what they've achieved in smartphones and tablets.
But, I like where Microsoft is heading with Windows 8 under Sinofsky's leadership. They still have a lot of work to do before getting it to market, but I really like the unified OS approach that MS is taking. I've been a big fan of the Metro interface since Microsoft introduced WP7, and still think it provides some distinct advantages over iOS (who's core interface hasn't changed since 2007).
Seems to me that Microsoft will be ahead in the OS unification department. And regarding Sinofsky, it's noteworthy that he delivered a really solid Windows 7 product in the wake of Vista. Many experts were writing off Microsoft then.
Thanks,
