Mac was gunning for a dual monopoly, anybody that was around when it still looked like Windows vs Mac would be a fair fight knows that

I'm not really concerned that Apple failed to establish an effective monopoly, or that Microsoft is a convicted monopolist.

I just want a computer with high quality, good value and technological excellence. If Wintel had those attributes, I'd be a Wintel user.

Well that was my statement that you first took issuance with. I'm not trying to convert you, I don't give a damn what computer you use how why or when. I said Mac was gunning for a dual monopoly and you didn't like that statement, if now you don't care what they were gunning for then there's no need for the discussion to continue. Use your Mac in good health. I'll use my AMD-Windows machine (you really need to stop using that Wintel phrase, it skews your vision and makes you look like a Machack with an unhealthy obsession) in good health.
