Lmao. Windows became popular because Apple was in shambles. Essentially they were the only game in town and literally because of that, overnight, they became THE operating system. Even with Jobs’ return and Apple’s meteoric rise, they were never able to even dent the monopoly they already built.

And they didn’t stop at personal computers. They innervated every business, post secondary institution, government sector and basically took over.

Microsoft is good at building and maintaining a monopoly. Outside of that, their actually products are third rate at best.
