True, but Windows still has around 90% (or more) of the global PC market. Windows actually brought computing to the masses. Apple didn't.
- adamlett 10y agoWe are using the same words to mean different things. When I say accessible, I mean approachable and usable, whereas you seem to mean affordable. When I say the masses, I mean in contrast to the elite, whereas you mean the overwhelming majority.
