Dave Winer Nails it

"Farhad has fallen into the trap that all tech writers seem to fall into eventually. They stop seeing the user as an important factor in the outcome of tech industry warfare."

This is a personal pet peeve of mine.

I don't choose Google over Apple, Microsoft over Google or any other combination. I try to find the best tool for the job and for my users.

That almost always means using at least some tools from ALL the tech giants.

For me a win isn't when Google/Apple/Microsoft/Amazon/etc. fails or wins - it's when I win.
