    I hope that one day the fans will realize that Apple is not a perfect company... one day...

    Apple never comments when they screw things up, probably for the best really, otherwise all he would get is more "You are holding it wrong" statements.

    Can you visualize a world where Microsoft never invented Windows and Mac was widely adopted and is now the leading platform? I would have stuck to MS-DOS.

    We'd have a very restricted computer world. Everything walled and monetized, very little for free. Basically, the route we're going now, just would have happened faster.

    Microsoft actually wanted to do away with open internet and get users into its Microsoft Network back in 1995.

    And besides instead of Windows we'd probably have some other competing OS like IBM's OS/2 if Apple didn't let its MacOS run on non-Apple hardware.

    Antitrust laws! They didn't break up Microsoft - but they totally would have done so to Apple with its closed ecosystem.

    The PC world is what it is because of BOTH Microsoft and Apple. I've never owned an Apple Computer but I've certainly benefited by the sense of competition MS always felt, the need to continue improving their product to compete with an (inarguably) innovative competitor.

    Apple isn't perfect, they've got complete control of their product from hardware to apps, yet they barely leverage that capability, leaving Microsoft to innovate on the 'comprehensive user experience across devices' front with cool tech demo's like 'MS Surface'.

    Microsoft on the other hand seems incapable of broadening their reach beyond the PC (and now Console). Handhelds have frustrated their every effort to break in.

    So they both have contributed to the ubiquitous computing world we live in, and they both have huge potential that's not being realized... but I don't think we'd be where we are without them both.

    And that's what happens when you're too dependent on one vendor. There are other video editing programs out there and it looks like Final cut will loose some users.
