Apple CEO Tim Cook Makes Fun at Windows PCs in Commencement Address at MIT

Apple CEO Tim Cook was invited to speech, and he delivered the commencement address on Friday at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he couldn’t help making a fun of his biggest competitor, Microsoft. What does Microsoft think after hearing this news, will Satya Nadella deliver a speech to fight back? That’s a interesting story of high technology.

In the speech, Cook mentioned that an old story happened in his graduate student times, when he tried to find answers and made tough decisions through Windows PC, disappointed and confused, he can find anything by those devices.

“I tried meditation. I sought guidance and religion. I read great philosophers and authors. In a moment of youthful indiscretion, I might even have experimented with a Windows PC. And obviously that didn’t work.”

But the funny thing is, Cook briefly worked at former PC maker Compaq in early 1998 prior to joining Apple.

Working with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, Cook said he eventually learned “life’s biggest and most important question” being “how can I serve humanity?”
Cook concluded his speech by saying he’s “optimistic” in the next generation’s own journey to serve humanity.

“As you go forward today, use your minds and your hands and your hearts to build something bigger than yourselves. Always remember there is no idea bigger than this: as Dr. Martin Luther King said, we are all bound together in a single garment of destiny. If you keep that idea at the forefront of all that you do, if you choose to live your lives at that intersection between technology and the people it serves, if you strive to create the best, give the best, and do the best for everyone—not just for some—then today all of humanity has good cause for hope. Thank you very much.”

When talking to the future of the development of Apple, Cook expressed that insisted on creation and provided better product service and experience was the most thing to do and would always do, this is what Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had been insisting for the whole time.
