Well we're not talking about total marketshare now are we..
Just because you can kick my ass in 9 games out of 10, i still won that 1 game. And thats what Apple did. They made iMac and the Apple lable a household name outside the industry. And the marketing strategy, including the MAC vs PC videos, made Apple come out on top. I.E..MS lost. |
No they didn't. Do you understand anything?
At first, microsoft(AKA bill gates and a few others) were working on windows, secretly, in apple. Steve jobs was naive at the time, he scolded and said it'd never take off. Apple was big then. Microsoft exploded on the scene, and apple over the years went into almost bankrupsty, and it was MICROSOFT which gave apple 200 million dollars to come back. They don't see them as a competition, because they are not.

Like that has anything to do with what i just said. But okay, whatever make syou sleep at night.

It has everything to do. You stated microsoft lost, and used assinine examples, you know mac market share went DOWN after the MAC vs PC ads? Why? People don't respond well to versus ads, and it started a new movement to PC fanboys to spread the news, so the ads were nulified with people.
Oh i'll sleep tight.

So... a quick recap. "MAFKKA - Well we're not talking about total marketshare now are we.. " .. and... "They made iMac and the Apple lable a household name outside the industry.[...] I.E.. MS lost"
Apples marketing strategy worked, period. And you can remove the MAC vs PC adds if that makes you feel better. Still, MS lost the battle of inovation and keeping it fresh for a younger market segment. And i repeat, they made Apple a household name outside the industry. So once again. Apple lost this battle.

I see you've conceded you're victory to MS. Bravo..cuz your point is horrible...Apple/Mac has always been a known household name. It's the only computers they had when I started in school....maybe for you young teenagers, 13-14 years old might not have known a lot about them, but everyone else was well aware of who they were.
