That makes no sense. Acrobat wouldn't be the top-selling portable document tools if Windows were complete. See? Doesn't make sense.

Makes perfect sense, the top selling software apps for Windows don't come from their #1 competitor. Unfortunately Microsoft probably makes as much profit off many Apples out there as Apple. Apple should have protected the "Apple Works" software and market a lot better than they did.

Large enough

Tiny, Chicago would have been a better example, you can't even score your own points.

You are getting far away from the point, which is that a cohesive, easy to manage system describes Mac better than Windows. In fact, you get that cohesiveness at a much more fundamental level, in that the OS maker also provides the hardware, perfectly matched. Apple doesn't have to rely on hundreds of OEMs to hopefully get the hardware/software mix right.

Chicago would have been a better example

Maybe, but Largo is good enough. It's just standard -- you don't need as many people to manage Linux, or probably Mac.
