Fanboys live in a fairy tale world where all lost sales for their overpriced, proprietary crap are due to conspiracies. Wake up. Delta Airlines is run by some very smart people.

I am an investor in aapl and msft. I think both will do fine. The companies need to work together, imho. Both want to make money from providing real stuff - devices, services etc. They have a mortal enemy who wants to make money by selling ads. Essentially making money off of devices/services debatable. Both these companies need to band together and destroy Google. Google may be better for people who want to be ad'ed to infinity because of info we provide to google. But for all else non-stupid-zombie people, an apple/microsoft alliance is much better..

The Key here is Delta's Information Technology.... Apple has no big iron HW, no High End database solutions, no failover, redundancy solutions.....OSX / OSX server have become an afterthought at Apple when Apple decided to go after the consumer market. When Apple bought NeXT - OSX/NexTStep was arguably the best server and corporate OS on the planet. I still gush over the power of EOF, true Object inheratance, WebObjetcs at $50,000 per license.... Every Monday the tech sites would post the fastest servers on the planet and OSX/OSX clusters were always up there amongst the fastest.... competing with the Japanese, Europeans etc. etc. All that fantastic power has died on the vine.... Lets face it - Oracle does not even run on OSX/Server, and Apple does not play nice with the rest of the industry - so how can a global airline buy into AAPL in a serious way?
