Apple CEO compares Windows 8 to a combination of a toaster and a refrigerator

[samit]

Apple is raking in huge profits and re-writing the record books, but it definitely isn’t treading on the friendly path after a recent dig at Microsoft by its CEO, Tim Cook. During the occasion of revealing Apple’s quarterly revenue, Tim took to a question-and-answer session to compare Microsoft’s Metro UI to combining a toaster and refrigerator.
Upon being asked if Apple had any plans to merge its tablet and laptop efforts, as with Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8, Tim Cook replied “You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those aren’t going to be pleasing to the user.”

How can the laptop be a refregirator and the tablet a toaster? They both deliver the same function but each one has capabilities that the other doesn't have. Refrigerators are still refregerators.

The only reason Apple is raking in money is because they prey on ignorance of the youth. Ooh shiny, it must be good. Actually I think Apple is a good fit for the elderly and young children(not even joking) easy to see big buttons and the OS makes all your choices for you. It's like the Sesame Street of Pc's.

Well functions have a margin lesser however it depends on the taste of the user want.
