John - Re: " were there other reasons they got toasted? "

There are millions of opinions on this.

Mine is that Apple chose to be the complete and only supplier of hardware and system software. This limited their development rate and rate of innovation beyond the initial MAC concept.

In the Wintel world, literally thousands of hardware and software developers combined to contiually advance the platform - increase capability while decreasing costs.

Apple tried to have it all - they succeeded but their "all" kinda shrunk.
