It wasn't just the high prices. Apple wouldn't license until it was too late, and it looked like they just stopped learning from other peoples' innovations. One thing about MSFT, they'll copy anybody else's ideas, no shame there, if they can get away with it (and sometimes not). But after mooching much of what made the Mac great from Xerox, Apple got arrogant or something, and kept arguing that they were the best while the world slowly went Wintel. MSFT seemed to get a similar dose of arrogance when the Internet came, and they might have gotten clobbered for it, but they saw the danger and opportunity in time and went after the Internet and NSCP with a vengeance.
