My biased guess is that Microsoft is concentrating too much on forcefully extracting money from whereever it can. Apple has obviously concentrated on making things that people would actually _want to_ use. The truckloads of money they're raking in is just an (intentional) side-effect. The plan with Vista was to ram it down everyone's throat through Microsoft's monopoly position, but where is the added value for the users? Leopard received a much warmer response. Fanboys, yes, and bugs, but still - it's something that people want to use.
