What MS developed at the time wasn't meant to make it into the mainstream. It was meant to show the other manufacturers what can be done. It just happened that the manufacturer that got things going was Apple.
MS did the initial development, Apple used that and added marketing, manufacturers used Apple's marketing and added variety, this resulted in competition that got the specs high enough for MS to use their resource draining OS.
