But I'm not convinced by the "Apple is the new Microsoft" argument. Elgan uses a lot of hyperbolic, scary phrases (e.g. "Microsoft could only dream of such power") which make me wary. Also, I'm not a fan of any argument that vilifies a profit-maximizing pricing scheme. the hypothetical scenarios in the “sorry, dad” article rile me up good!!
