Great point. I am viewed as anti-Microsoft and pro-Apple. But all in all Microsoft has been made to look bad by really bad OEMs.

- rbanffy 14y agoMicrosoft's whole business is based on commoditizing hardware so they can profit more from software. This trainwreck has been in the making since the mid 80's. How can an OEM differentiate if the whole point of making a PC is to build a machine compatible (as in "identical") to just about every other? It's painfully obvious playing this game has effectively cut their margins to zero. But yes. You can blame the OEMs for willingly yield control over their products to Microsoft. At the time, it even made sense.
