Apple Needs a Nikon

Daring Fireball gets it right yet again.
The point being that much of what gets chalked up as devotion to/obsession with Apple is, in fact, devotion to/obsession with great design, and there’s an utter dearth of rival PC or handheld gadget makers that value design as Apple does.
I think the Palm Pré and Windows 7 both look great*. I don’t hate Microsoft, I hate poorly designed shit… and Microsoft makes a lot of poorly designed shit.
FYI, Stephen Fry’s post is worth reading, too.
- Not that I don’t think Windows 7 will be chock full of ass, but MAN… the way they’ve redesigned the start bar fixes a lot of crap that’s been broken for a long time.↑
