I can't remember if the manual characterizes Apple as a chimp or a prince. My thinking is that the architecture wasn't open, preventing the company from being a Gorilla of a niche.

The MacOS provides an API and supports a number of programming languages. It was open enough for Adobe and Microsoft to create numerous applications from Acrobat and Photoshop to the Office suite. How does that differ from Windows? The manual focused more on the hardware and compared it to Intel and identified it as a chimp. I'm trying to ignore the hardware and just focus on the OS.
