Apple and Microsoft may merge in 5-10 years

[Atomic Wanderer Chicken]

So far the red flag words I have found about this article not being not credible are "analyst" and "Fox Business"

 

Plus, Apple and Microsoft merging would cause an atomic explosion of anger from Apple and Microsoft fans!

It`ll probably happen when Apple shares hit the dumpster after the iPad v 10.2 12" R3aL 3D with internal 4K projector takes a dive

[Hum]

Will iPads run Windows 10 ... :shifty:

[McKay]

Would it even be legal? The companies for the 2 largest computer OS's merging?

I just don't see it happening in the short term. Long term, who knows?

[Ian S.]

Not gonna happen. Why? Cause apple is a only vertically integrated and the why Jony Ive only thinks of his designs as premium and only suitable for iOS and Mac, plus with Tim Cook not wanting to make any drastic changes (that may be necessary to keep the company afloat) because he is afraid to change anything Steve Jobs, there is no way apple and Microsoft is gonna happen. 

 

Maybe, just maybe 25-30 years from now.

How do these analysts come up with this ######?

 

Have they not heard of monopoly laws?

[MtnDewCodeRedFreak]

Has hell just froze over?! Apple and MS?!?!

 

No way.

this will never happen, shareholders in each company would be the main reason.

 

what will happen if you hold shares in Microsoft or Apple? stocks go up or down? would existing stocks be merged or become obsolete?

 

this will never happen.

i honestly do not see this ever happening no matter what analysts have to say.

 

A lot of time these days analysts talk out of their butts to garner attention.
