I love that commerical it show
dominance... when IBM looked up
to Apple for it's last hope in
making themselves useful Apple takes
out this ad that basicly says the doors
of opportunity are closed never to be open
because the key has been thrown away...

The only thing that prevents it is the IBM PC had an open architecture and many "clones" were produced. Still IBM's architecture prevails. Microsoft succeeded through great cockups of others: Digital, IBM and Apple. In the early days Microsoft (too) portrayed IBM as the evil empire. Funny how things change.

Okay, sorry, my mistake. But my point is that they didn't even release Windows until after the Macintosh was released, and Microsoft didn't have hardly any power until 1995, over 10 years after this keynote. So Steve Jobs would literally have to be a fortune teller to predict that Windows would take over the industry, because there's no way to predict that. Ridiculing Jobs for seeing IBM as the problem in 1984, not 1995, is an ignorant thing to do.

MSFT was founded in 1975, 8 years before....

Of course, Microsoft wasn't even founded until about 10 years later. But whatever, I guess those tiny details don't matter to you.

Steve is wrong again. Apple and IBM is not dominating the PC market anymore.
