But enough about Linux. The idea that Apple is now the World's Largest Company because they offer the most intuitive interface to non-technical users is silly. Three words: marketing, Joneses, and herd. 
Not that I think any of those are inherently evil, I'm just saying their success is not all about having the best (easiest) interface for average Joe Technophile... it's not even the main reason. |
Apple became the WLC because it hit a series of monster home runs in the consumer electronics field over the last decade- the Ipod, Itunes, Iphone, App Store, Ipad. In every case, they succeeded not because they brought the first product to market, but because they brought to market the first product that was easiest and most intuitive to use. I don't say that-consumers say that- hundreds of millions of them over the years. Is it possible that they are right and you are wrong about this? Just sayin'.
