And yet the unimaginative had to bail out the design genius and best salesperson on the planet.

Plus I really don't think the whole Design thing was ever true to begin with tbh.

Apple has never beat Microsoft in a clear head 2 head design battle , Microsoft was either not interested in what Apple was doing or had to simply ignore it in order to avoid being broken up by the Government.

Revisionism at its best
