- joubert 16y agoFor all intents and purposes, a consumer, for a very very long time couldn't buy a machine without windows bundled with it (I.e. Someone paid), unless you bought a Mac. Microsoft saw to that.

- inerte 16y agoBut that's not OP's point. You know when people say "I've forgot more about X than you'll ever know!"? MS has screwed more companies than Apple has on its entire ecosystem. But it has made possible the existence of so many more. While, with Apple, it's either their way or none at all. And I am not saying this makes Apple's products bad, the iPad sucks or the market hasn't made a decision. Just that doing business on Apple's ecosystem is way harder and more riskier.

- randrews 16y agoI never said Apple wasn't bad news, just that MS wasn't exactly a champion of small business either.
