Let's see: What's the difference between "Wintel" and "Apptel"?
"They need to emerge from innovation bankruptcy and do a lot more than just rubber-stamping Apple???s stuff."
So, are you people trying to tell the people out here that, once Apple has done something, that it's not okay for others to do the same? Especially when there actually is a difference between Wintel and Apptel? Let's see, Wintel PC runs the most used OS in the universe, and they run most applications developed for PCs, while Apptel devices run on an OS that has only 5-6% of the PC market, and don't run as many applications as any PC out there.
I'd say that's a win for the Wintel platform, even if the author cannot see the huge difference. Ultrabooks on the Wintel platform are automatically more suited to a bigger audience, than the ultrabooks from Apptel. Somebody is being blind to reality.
