I see, shift the goalposts on technology invention; how very "Applish" of you...;) You stated:

Apple was largely responsible for every single thing you take for granted

And that's not even close to true. ALL those things you listed were invented outside of Apple and introduced by other computers before Apple. So where's the innovation?

But if you want to talk commercialization, great. What was the first personal computer to sell 1 million units? What is the best selling personal computer model of all time? What computer OS has dominated the computer world for close to 20 years?

OK, you’re right. Every innovation in the desktop PC, the cellphone and the MP3 player has come out of Redmond, Washington. Microsoft is known for elegant, integrated solutions and always has been. You want innovation, think Bill Gates and thank Bill Gates. From Microsoft Bob to Zune to Kin to massive $17,000 table computers, Microsoft is always at the forefront and the rest of the industry resorts to copying whatever Microsoft does. /sarc

I can understand people being so-called “bots” for Apple of their own volition, because Apple actually makes a product people love. I know, I fit that description and have since 1988. There’s no explanation for you, aside from a monetary one, however. There is nothing to love about Microsoft. The money isn’t even all that great anymore.
