From a slightly different point of view;
I was always under the impression that Apple got trounced by Microsoft in the desktop PC market. People quickly realized Apple didn't have a lot of software past Adobe, plus of course you could copy software from your friends.
History is now repeating with Android/Google as they start to dominate apple with much the same situation. The Iphone is an overpriced toy for a lot of people.
You could always blame the Apple downfall on that bloke from Pepsi.
The next big fight is going to be Apple TV vs Google TV. Apple already has Disney on their side, while Google is just giving Google TV away much like Microsoft did with with DOS and Windows.
- fnl 16y agoWell, I sort of tried to say that - although, my impression is that it was harder to develop for Apple than DOS because of the unavailability of developer tools for Mac OS. Although I must admit I stuck to Atari to the bitter end and directly jumped to Linux, so my impression might be wrong. However, as you say, in any case, they faded away because of insufficient software and did solve that by opening up in OSX and having XCode and other stuff directly available. So, are they doing that again with their recent policies?
