"they came to dominate the market for their business tactics, not because they actually provide a superior product"
This is very true. MS is very smart business wise and they went for aspects around Partner sales that worked very well. It's worth noting that when Apple tried that they nearly died! Apple is Apple because they *are Apple, and not anyone else.
Apple is the foil the Microsoft. They can't survive without each other in many ways. You have to have both, and both recognize that. Apple can never do what Microsoft does for it's customers and to an extent the reverse is also true.
Arguments like MS "stole" from Apple are stupid because everyone stole from Xerox and Ives "stole" from D.Rams. They simply applied good design principles used by others to make they're product better. If you accuse MS of stealing say the same for Apple or stop being a one sided fanboy.
I have an Apple and run both Vista and OSX through bootcamp. I love them both for different reasons, but I will say the Apple side crashes less.
