Think about it do you think in a business office it will replace pc day to day task, for a hand held devices/mobile devices. like word processing, electronic spreadsheet, presentation making, video editing, CAD systems and many more…. if you were thinking like that, then your too stupid to use smartphone to do those things for you….

Yeap, that’s right Microsoft, now before you say I am crazy
slow down and think a minute. Imagine that Microsoft purchased HP as a way for them to keep the windows platform relevant. Let’s say Microsoft completely reverses their stategy and stealing another page out of Apples playbook. They design and build ( they have some very talented hardware designers already) a quality PC the way it is supposed to be built showcasing the best of their technology , displaying them in their own Microsoft stores and vertically intergrating them with phone, music, gaming just like Apple. Microsoft could simplify HPs line and take advantage of HPs extensive retail channel to place a high quality machine in the publics hands and go face to face with Apple in advertising. Microsoft could also build a build a powerful high end machine for enterprise businesses to compete there with Oracle with Sun utilizing service and support. When they are ready to move into Windows 8 they are in a position to transition large corporations into that new platform instead of risking loss of those customers to Oracle or Apple.
