Jason Perlow argues that Apple and Microsoft go together like “a burger and fries” and should enter into a partnership.
Microsoft’s Azure and 365 are the keys to Apple’s future products and services being able to fulfill their highest potential.

But only if the companies committed to building a single intelligent agent together.
I don’t necessarily agree, but then again Apple’s partnership with IBM surprised me.
