Tim,
Nice post.

Your arguments about the Macintosh being the breeding ground for the eventual success of Microsoft Windows Office, are compelling. You cogently documented the success of the Microsoft applications on the Macintosh (where Microsoft did not have any advantage of having any inside knowledge of the operating system). Microsoft is probably still the dominant application provider for the Apple platform.

Are we implying that Microsoft is better at developing Applications than Operating Systems ?

I agree that the open architecture of the PC is a more challenging environment than the closed Apple box. But Linux on the PC has the reputation of being more stable than any Windows product !

Food for thought !
