With the former, it\u2019s mostly about smartphones, although Google is also working on a desktop operating system. When it comes to the latter, it\u2019s the eternal conflict between the Mac and the PC, although Steve Jobs admitted long ago that Microsoft won the operating system wars.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the impression that Apple and Google are at loggerheads is the fact that the latter\u2019s CEO, Eric Schmidt, resigned from the former\u2019s board last year because of existing and potential future conflicts. Certainly he\u2019d have to recuse himself from any meeting involving mobile device strategy, operating system plans, and that wouldn\u2019t leave much room for anything else.<\/p>\n<p>With Microsoft, those famous Mac versus PC ads clearly identify one of Apple\u2019s biggest enemies. Even though it\u2019s highly unlikely the Mac OS will ever supplant Windows in our lifetime \u2014 at least not before both are replaced by something perhaps even now being devised in someone\u2019s garage \u2014 Apple delights in poking fun at the failings of Windows.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wait!
