[Qt-interest] Nokia and MS

[Frederico A. M. Prado]

The difference is that for the last 20 years it has not been like such  
thanks to Apple's demise 20 years ago.

Yes, Microsoft has been TRYING to do that for a long time, and it has been  
failing at that for about as long, as will Apple. Apple is doing exactly  
the same mistake it did 20 years ago, and although it is working in the  
short term, the consequences are due to be exactly the same in the end.

Personally, I place my bets on Android.
