The young upstart Microsoft fatally wounded the International Business Machines behemoth and brought us an OS for the common man.

Everyone knows that The OS For The Common Man was Apple, because the Common Man is Bad At IT.

The scrappy competitor had the superior OS, but they never delivered. They insisted on running their OS on their proprietary hardware. They couldn't stop stepping on their own dicks right up until they needed Microsoft to bail them out. Windows was not the OS we needed, but was the OS we deserved.
