Does MS hate Apple? I would wager they don't, since they have a patent cross-licensing deal with Apple and a couple partnerships (Apple uses Azure for iCloud and Bing for searching).

Google definitely hates MS, as evidenced by how childish they act when it comes to Windows Phone. Apple hates Google, Microsoft hates Google, Google hates Microsoft. I'd say that's likely how it goes.

Part of me is like "I can see how this makes sense," but another part is saying "this sounds like elementary school gossip..."

The human brain: simplifying complex issues with anthropomorphism since forever.

MS hating Apple is like Apple hating IBM; they're old wars and now the former enemies are new allies. Google/Samsung is the current war. For future wars, who can say?

What's important is that they all hate the customer together... Or at least have a healthy disdain thereof.

But Apple's whole M.O. is putting the customer first.
