- vidarh 6y agoMy comment was more of an additional reason (on top of the openness of their earlier computers) for why arguing that closed systems didn't stop Apple is not a great argument. Apple got incredibly close to failing. Had it not been for Microsoft's investment they very well might have. Their closed approach took a long time to start paying off, and so using Apple as an example for why DEC's closed approach wasn't a problem doesn't really add up.
