You are confused.
The Mac came out in 1984, and Windows 1 in 1985.
We are talking about the 90's, and Windows certainly crushed Mac during that era (and most of the early 2000's too).
And since Mac's world wide market share hovers around 6%, you can probably still argue that Windows continues to crush it today.
- protomyth 16y agoNo, I am not confused. MS-DOS / PC-DOS already had a significant share. The Macintosh was never dominant in the market. Calling Windows something new ignores the relationship between MS-DOS and Windows (ask the DR-DOS people).
