After all, if there wasn't Microsoft, the Mac would have never took off and the whole microcomputer industry wouldn't be what it is today. And if Microsoft products were really such crap then they would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. Where else do they get their money from other than selling software licenses (and maybe some Xboxes, which, by the way, are pretty cool)?

1. Apple's Apple II OS beat out what Gates had tried to design, so
Microsoft went shopping and swindled what became MS-DOS from its
original developer.
2. The Mac OS came out BEFORE Windows was ever conceived.
3. Gates told Microsoft Windows developers that he wanted Windows to be
"just like" the Macintosh OS.
4. Almost 16 YEARS later, they STILL haven't been able to do so. They
are getting closer, but so far no cigar. Windows 95 = Mac OS 89.
5. Microsoft has never innovated; just copied/stolen someone else's ideas.
6. As a keyboard and mouse hardware company, Microsoft is good; as a
software company, it sucks.
