Well the free market says otherwise. Apple has been around LONGER than Microsoft if anything Apple should rule the operating system world yet why don't they if the product is so superior? The consumer market has rejected it for a reason. Proprietary software that runs on a proprietary platform where the cost point is not competitive. That is why Microsoft rules the desktop market share, and in time if free distributions of Linux continue to surface that rival Microsoft, they will more than likely in time take over. Mac will remain as it always has on the sidelines as a irrelevant player no matter how "good" the MAC crowd touts it to be. Nothing proves that point more than the iPhone. While the idea was cool and innovative terrible marketing is killing it and all the knock offs are going to crush it in the long term. Heck they already are.
Finally say what you want about Bill Gates, there is no question he has done and continues to do a significant amount of charity work now, which is a lot more than you can say of Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.
