GA, you're taking my argument farther than I did or intended to.

I won't defend positions I haven't taken. I hate straw men.

Hint: I never used the word "better" vis-a-vis Windows. The dialog needs a reboot (or maybe just a shut down...)

EDIT: I'll grant you the virtual monopoly. But that only really applied to products in the same ecosystem as Windows, if you recall. Apple's computers have never been subject to Microsoft's dominion-- unless you count the Mac implementation of Office (). I believe that Apple has had every opportunity to grab much more market share than it has, Microsoft's heavyhanded business practices be damned. They have just chosen (or resigned themselves) to taking a select share, and that's fine. But my original point stands-- if it can be found under all the subsequent noise...

You editing fool! Caught you!

Um... yes it actually does. Although I agree that Apple took their foot directly off that pedal for the most part years ago and let the fanboys drive it from there...
