Why Amazon Is Special and Apple Is Not

These days, OSX is simply a better product than is Windows (stability, security, feature set). OSX also has things like iTunes (largest provider of digital content world-wide... besides Pirate Bay), FinalCut, Logic, Aperture, and GNU/BSD tools. That's a hard line up for Windows to beat. More importantly, I think, is that OSX and iOS work well with one another. If I have an iPad, an iPhone, and an iMac my content syncs easily and transparently. When taken with iTunes this is simply tough to compete with.

tl:dr digital content delivery made Apple king.

What a rediculous comment. Windows still has plenty of advantages over OSX. Better window management, much better backward compatibility, better driver support, particularly for graphics cards. Its "simply better" for office productivity work, and computer games.

OSX has Unix compatibility, better audio and video production etc.

Neither is "simply better".

The root word of "ridiculous" in ridicule.

iTunes is available on Windows and does content syncing with multiple devices just fine.
