Desktop OS Microsoft Apple Google Windows Mac OS X Chrome OS?Windows still leadsbut Mac OS X is gaining momentum as wellChrome OS is niche-market OS
Mobile OS Microsoft Apple Google Windows Phone iOS AndroidTotally different strategy iOS = Apple only Android = Google with many partners (Microsoft PC tactic) Windows Phone = Microsoft + NokiaWindows Phone has 3-4% share for now but Microsoft can play a long game
Hardware Microsoft Apple Google PC = Partners Macintosh PC = Few Partners Mobile = Nokia iPhone, iPad Mobile = Partners Nexus Motorola?Apples vertical integration proved it works very well!Can Microsoft+Nokia and Google+Motorola compete?
Web Browser Microsoft Apple Google IE Safari ChromeAlso Firefox & OperaBrowser is A Gateway to InternetControlling browser, controlling internet = Microsoft IE strategyShould Facebook own a browser too?
Online Services Microsoft Apple Google Windows Live & iCloud? Google Everything BingMicrosoft is closed to FacebookNow Apple is allied with Twitter & Wolfram AlphaGoogle own everythingApple is lacking in this area Should Apple starts its own Search, Mail & Maps?
