A small calibration of videos I threw together. It's main point focuses on the good and bad of the Mac operating system. It also includes it's so called "rival", Windows.
@zamardii12 @TheModernaComplex Actually, I worked at the Macintosh factory in those years. So the music is relevant if you were there and actually knew some of the people in this video. Sorry you disliked it.
@Whitegamer009 Ive come across your very old comment, the reason for OS X only being on Mac is because back in 1997 when OS 7 was on clone machines, none of the clone companies wanted to pay a premium price for the OS, Jobs says he asked the 5 times over a couple of weeks, they said no, so he said OK then. they honoured the agreement for the old OS and then released a new OS and it was only on Mac, also you can make a Hackentosh for a much cheaper price then going out and buying a Mac from Apple
@BillA1016 Well, we wouldn't have Pixar if Steve stayed with Apple... Toy Story alone was almost worth his temporary departure and the near implosion of the company haha.
I wonder where Apple would be today if Steve had stayed in control the entire time. I'm sure the Mac would have seen more success in the mid-90s when it was failing, but who knows where we'd be today. Had he not come back at all, Apple would have surely failed (Steve's idea, the iMac G3 brought Apple back into the game).
Microsoft would be nowhere if IBM didn't decide to use off the shelf components and software to run the 5150, allowing the machine to be cloned into cheaper products by other companies like Tandy causing IBM clones thus MSDOS and Windows to take more and more of the market share reducing Mac to a Niche market. Atleast now you can run Mac OS on IBM clone hardware now, so maybe more people would use Mac software now.
