We firmly believe in the importance and value of innovation, and have invested significantly for many years in developing our industry leading device management technology.

A world with Microsoft, without Apple! Zune would control the 73% of the MP3 player market, 99% of the OS market (considering Linux), the browsers don't change much, the whole world would be all PC!

But we can but dream.
