when Windows won the war we actually wound up with the lesser of two evils.

Nah, just a crappy, mass-market oriented evil.

Which was exactly the goal of Jobs. Except where MS wanted to own the OS Jobs wanted to own the motherboard AND the OS. Macs are seriously overrated, they are better machines than PCs but not that much better and the default decisions of Jobs (no floppy, 1 button mouse) are idiotic. And the fact that it took them to the mid 90s to finally stick a print buffer in the OS shows how entirely non-revolutionary they always have been and always will be.
