I was looking at WWDC this year (Apple's yearly convention) with regards to getting a macbook pro, but touchscreen OLEDs and Intel's new Nehalem architecture are waiting in the wings chez Apple, probably Christmas time. Think I may wait until then.
But there's quite a big difference between the two companies and their products.
Apple's success is their platform tied in with their hardware.
Microsoft's success is the fact their platform can work with
every bit of PC hardware, but Microsoft in contrast to Apple don't dedicated PC hardware of their own. Microsoft's OS is 'open' in that way.
When it comes down to it, they're catering for two completely different areas of the market, so the execution of their products is also very different.
