New Then... umm
Why did Bill Gates have to prop it up a few years ago? When he could have easily gone for the KILL! They were vulnerable *big time*, yet he *chose* to "invest" in Apple.

Of course, the same thing could be said about Chrysler, in the 70's GM could have thrown a hand grenade in the coffin, then quickly nailed it shut. we'd no longer hear about'em.

New Where else would MS get ideas for new features?
Most advances on the PC platform are pioneered by Apple. They don't necessarily invent the stuff - but they definitely get it popularized and adopted sooner. For one example - wireless networking. Yes you could get it from Lucent - but virtually nobody knew about 802.11b until Jobs demo'd the Airport in a MacWorld keynote.
