Again, only a comparison that describes why Apple got stomped by the PC

If you ask me, the reason Apple got stomped was the lack of a capitalist
system in America. MS doesn't even market that well. They manipulate and
litigate well. If they had real consequences for their crimes, they
probably wouldn't exist.

Uh huh. Now _who_ sued _who_ over user interface look and feel?

MS made one very good business decision. The sold to IBM at the price IBM
wanted to pay. Once that deal was done they'd have had to screw up pretty
bad to avoid becoming the predominant OS vendor for personal computers.
