To be fair. Apple makes nice computers. My neice had an apple II GS when she was three and it was much better than a pc based system at the time. All the kids in the neighborhood came over and were amazed that Reader Rabbit spoke. And she now uses an Apple for graphics and editing films. Apples are preferred in that area.

They did lose competitive advantage, but not through having a crappy product. The best product doesn't always win. In fact, many times it doesn't. It's about marketing mostly and in msft's case, the monopoly on the OS for pc based systems sure helped.
