I am not a fanboy, but Microsoft started almost exactly 1 year before, and hasn't faced an existentialist crisis in it's lifespan. It is actually rare among companies to have gone from strength to strength almost year after year. While some products like windows 95 inspired very long queues on launch day, the crowd I associated with never thought much of them. Infact some of them made expensive mistakes with os2. Today I am a consumer of both apple products and steve folklore, and sometimes get confused as to where fantasy ends and reality sets in.
