"Jobs and Apple are still paying the price for losing a critical fight with Microsoft in the 1980s. It was fought in court and in the marketplace, and at the end, Apple was left with an irrelevant share of the very market one could quarrel it had invented, personal computers," Dan Fost writes for The San Francisco Chronicle. "To this day, even as its stock and income soar, Apple's computers are but a sparrow escaping the Microsoft hawk... In a way, Apple's survival is remarkable... like a dinosaur living beyond the Ice Age. All the early PC-makers like Amiga, Commodore and Acorn crumbled, but idiosyncratic Apple hung on."
