How come it has taken AAPL so long to get to OS8.1? Why don't we have a personal version of UNIX that has captured the public's imagination? Why did IBM (with all their resources) throw in the towel on OS2 and on and on. If a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his butt. MSFT did the job in getting the support of the consumer and third party developers. They made it cheap for the consumer and profitable for third party developers. Where is the crime in that ? And they did it the new fashioned American way - with a mediocre product. This is all political. By the way if dominance is bad why not go after ORCL they hold about 80% of the DB market.
