Frankly, I just don't care. I'm not a forum diehard. I don't have hard facts, but that doesn't really matter to me on a Maemo forum, maybe in a college English class though.
Then why should anyone here care to read what you write?
As far as I'm concerned, Apple wasn't a major competitor until recent years, meaning Microsoft was making the big bucks - there's a reason Windows is the largest consumer-level OS on the planet. And I don't take that 1984 commercial too seriously, maybe when it comes to Google in the next couple of years, but not Microsoft.
The 1984 Apple commercial was aimed at IBM, not microsoft.
Yeah I don't really feel like reading up on anything. Thanks though. Let me rephrase what I had previously stated. Microsoft made the consumer level graphical environment mainstream.
