It actually reminds me of the Personal Computer when I was growing up. There was Apple (a bit of a mushroom very few people had) and IBM (your dad's business computer), plus a whole bunch of IBM clones (even Samsung made one). All of the clones ran the same OS (or version thereof).

Obviously there are some huge differences, but it still feels very familiar to me. I don't think it'll play out the same though, given the quality and popularity of the Apple product this time around.

As much as I do appreciate Apple products, I'm glad they lost the PC revolution. I can't believe we'd have been better off building software for that closed system.
