Could Apple have beaten Microsoft?
I have always wonered if Apple could have beaten Microsoft in the desktop computer arena. When they created the Mac in 1984, they created a computer that was a decade ahead of anything that Microsoft or IBM had come out with and yet they still lost out to Microsoft, why? John Gruber has written an article that explain this. His final conclusion is that in order for Apple to have had a real chance to compete with Microsoft at the time they would have had to create a computer that was merely evolutionary and not revolutionary. Personally, I will take revolutionary.
