Apple doesn't have Microsoft's killer instinct? I can remember a time when I worked for an Amiga education dealer and the local Apple dealer wanted to sell Amigas as well as Macs and Apple ][GS computers. The Apple dealer was told that they couldn't be an Apple dealer if they sold Amigas at all. This was when Apple had a dealer network the same as Commodore did, unlike the Gateway-Esque Apple stores of today..
The same dealer told schools that if they had an Amiga in the classroom they wouldn't get any donated computers and the big "Apple Education discount"..
So let's not talk about Apple not having a killer instinct. They controlled the schools in the USA for many years for not really good reason other than economic leverage..
When people think Commodore it's rarely known that they had "authorized education dealers" but they did..
Let's not give Apple underdog status just because Microsoft is ontop now. Microsoft fought tooth and nail to get there, and I prefer them over the OVERPRICED UnderPOWERED alternative..
