thoughtful questions:
- which one bought youtube?
- which one bought yahoo?
- which of those do you use more?
- Which company makes Vista? How are mac sales in the last five years, again? How about the adoption of linux?
- Which company do you use every day? Which company do you hate? Which company do all the computer people hate?
- which company is the "smart" one? that seems to understand issues like open source, DRM, user experience, innovation, etc?
- which seems more likely to double its revenues and profits in the next 10 years & beyond?
