Apple aimed at a different demographic. Good people with kind
dispositions and deep pockets.
MS offered Melba toast. Stale and crunchy.
You left out "affordable". Whatever the limitations of DOS, the PCs
that ran it were accessible to the masses.
If Apple had been even remotely affordable when I bought my first
computer (an Amstrad - remember them?), I might have bought one and
been a happy Mac user today. But they weren't, I didn't and hell will
