This is the sort of stuff I can see Apple looking at strongly as soon as it becomes viable for development. Yeah so what if the buildings cost a bit more? They'll not just be hunks of concrete blocks built with low costing in mind, but things of beauty that you'll want to visit, explore and be fascinated by time and time again.
Basically, an apple future is one of technological innovation, very artistic, spending billions of dollars on a sweet futuristic building for shits + giggles and generally making things look aesthetically pleasing and uniform, so you might spend a bit extra on materials and innovation, but at least it'll look great and stand the test of time.
A Microsoft future though..?

Are you trolling?
Apple is the one squeezing money out of the consumers, adding a small new feature like a bigger UI screen and charging $500 for it.
Anyone can make a "sleak, artistic meaning", it's just that Apple wanted minimalism with the ipod or whatever so they made it a brick with 1 button.
All this talk about Microsoft v Apple....

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;32282220]Sounds like Apple to me[/QUOTE]
[I'm not taking any sides here, but to tell the truth, in the past five years I haven't noticed any groundbreaking achievements in their operating systems. Iphone as been the same for years, OSX has been the same since 2007, with minor feature changes at that. Yet, amazingly, you can buy one Macbook, or for the same price, you can buy two Windows machines, or two windows laptops with equal if not greater processing power and specifications. I don't quite understand how sleak aluminum can result in such a drastic offset on the price-tag.]
It's not entirely fair to say that branding plays the key role in their sales. I personally believe it's consumer ignorance that allows them to be so successful. Major business and or accounting firms rely on Windows software. Schools heavily rely on Windows software. Media outlets and Hollywood heavily rely on Windows software for editing and visual effects. But what it comes down to, in my eyes, is that a teflon backed HP notebook looks 'trashy', and is made of plastic. Commoners don't like that and strive for something flashy, even if it means sacrificing several hundred dollars more. I won't make the games argument here, because it's clear that Windows has an unfair advantage of having developers use their hardware and software for the past few decades. But in the future, since Microsoft does such a good job at it, Apple probably won't stand a chance.
It's one of those things you'll have to deal with. Just as you and I both know a Toyota can get 40 miles per gallon, yet people unwilling to be frugal or with the urge, perhaps even necessity to stand out, they shell out for the Chrysler. Why? Because it's bigger, flashier, and it commands respect(in some persons eyes(in my opinion)).
Windows recreated a lot of technology for their computers because they were tired of foreign tech companies giving them shitty hardware, which is why BSOD's are rarer in Windows 7.

You're honestly trying to use this as a defence for Apple?
I mean, you realise that you're applying the design of objects that take up a couple of hundreds of cubic centremetres of space (at most (as in their computers and shit) to the design of entire buildings, or, as you call it, 'the future'?
Not only that, but you went as far as to use the imagery of a game not even produced by anyone at Apple to back that claim up. What you seem to want is a future that looks like something designed by people working at Eidos Montreal, not Apple.
In fact, that brings up a good point itself: the stuff that people design themselves, customised specifically for them, to suit their tastes and needs is generally leagues more sexy looking (and practical) than ANYTHING Apple has ever made. I'd rather see a future in which everyone was creative and everything was visually unique instead of Apple's style of bland, black and white, over-simplified shit.
Damn you Apple!!
