> Apple is skating to the puck

Given the rest of your comment, I think you meant ‘Apple is skating to where the puck is going to be’.




No, I think the puck is already at two of the three platforms they targeted with the new release: web and desktop. I think mobile/tablets isn't there yet, but that is changing, too. Microsoft isn't getting much traction yet, but they're moving there, too.


Hmm, I think you don’t really understand the Gretzky quote “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been” and how it’s used in this context.

If you skate to where the puck is now, you’re just following others, stuck in old ways, and you’ll always at a competitive disadvantage (it takes time to skate – if you skate to where the puck is now, you’ll never be able to hit it.) If you’re skating to where the puck is going to be (when you get there), you’re taking the lead, you’re anticipating change acting before it happens.
