The iPod revived Apple&#039;s computer biz, and iPhone doubled the Mac&#039;s
marketshare. But the really funny part is the hate directed at
Microsoft...Had Microsoft stop making MS Office for Mac back when the Mac&#039;s
marketshare was only 2.7% and only going down, Apple would&#039;ve
shortly been out of the computer biz !In other words: Microsoft saved the Mac.Apple zealots ~hate~ Microsoft anyhow, though.
