Apparently Mr. Jobs has decided that Google, not Microsoft is now public enemy #1. If you read tech news, you now that Apple and Google have been squabbling over Apple denying Google apps into the iPhone store. Now apparently Apple has bought a mapping company to compete with Google maps.

I think he is making a big mistake in picking this fight. Google is going to be the company to take down MS when their OS comes out in the next year or so. They're not going to run MS out of the server OS market but they can and probably will take over the desktop market especially since MS Office is going to go web like Googe Apps. Sure, the gamers and video editors will prob hang on to Windows, Linux or OS X but all the people with low end machines, netbooks or machines to just do homework, listen to music and surf will prob go with the Google OS since it will be free like Linux and probably easier to use to boot.
Steve Jobs is a hippy so I think he should make love not war with Google and watch his step. Apple is already second fiddle to MS. I'd hate to see them fall to third tier with Google as well but it's inevitable.
anybody else ave thoughts?
