Wrong, wrong, wrong! MS won because intel won and several downs
manufacturers of clones won. Mac was a single point product that
was also for much of it's life a closed product. People do like the
appearence of competition so intel boxen did get a little cheaper while
Macs did have like product pressure.

< PowerPC vs. Pentium - who won? Intel. Why? Marketing.

Too little to late.
