Should Apple buy Microsoft?

[Zirel]

I've had touch screen 14" Lenovos since December 2014, and I still like them.

Non-touch just seems old-school.

Using Windows with the mouse is hard enough, how can you "click" those tiny buttons? What' the point?

And, BTW, I'm astonished at Apple's ostrich with its "head in the sand" attitude about touch on laptops.

Its not an ostrich in the sand but rather a strategic decision. This article states why apple chose not to use touch screen Phil Schiller Says Apple Tested and Rejected Touch Screen Macs, Finding It 'Absurd' on a Desktop

I disagree with much of his sentiment but overall, I see apple willing to keep Macs and iPads separate, i.e.,Macs non-touch and iPads touch first devices.
