I wonder if the story Mac vs. PC will be all over again but in different market. We have one company with new, sexy and revolutionary device, we have another company—the market leader—that missed the moment and we have the third company that started by writing software for the sexy device and eventually released their own operating system: definitely not as polished but open so any number of hardware-oriented companies can release their devices with this new OS.

I'm sorry, how is that the story of Mac vs. PC?

IBM as a market leader, that missed the moment, Apple as, well, Apple—company that released cool Macintosh computer—and Microsoft, as a company who started by writing software for Macs (i.e. BASIC version for Mac) but eventually released their own OS.

And Microsoft was the winner at the time.
