    Those animations are awesome, and it's so impressive how many of the things they invented and got right at that time. Most of those innovations are still here in macOS today, 40 years later! Really cool.

    No mention of Xerox... Why is that???
    Might as well claim Microsoft invented the modern GUI.

    Wait... "content Mac"? It's not called a "happy Mac"?

    Apple struggled because its hardware advancements were too slow due to insufficient investment. The company was overly dependent on other manufacturers and had a limited product portfolio compared to IBM and HP/Compaq. Even the software was just average, and at that time, Macintoshs weren’t very significant, with PCs already outpacing Macs. Otherwise, Microsoft would never have been able to achieve its dominance; it was a software battle, not a hardware one, because hardware was dictated by the needs of the software.

      @@hllok Yes, that's why they had to be saved by Microsoft-there was far too little software being ported to Apple, partly due to its complexity. Jobs had developed NeXTSTEP, an operating system that became a model for others with its preemptive multitasking. Unfortunately, NeXT remained a niche product. I had two NeXTcubes myself, one of which was running a BBS.

      @@hllok Just look at the 90s-Apple wasn't making any progress with their PowerPC machines. They were simply lagging behind both in hardware and software. By that time, NT was already dominating with NT4 and its preemptive multitasking. Apple had no chance of keeping up with their outdated MacOS (9). Things only started improving with the iMacs and the financial boost from Microsoft towards the end of the 90s, with Jobs entrusting his former NeXTSTEP developers to refresh the OS into what became OS X. But honestly, Apple never fully closed that gap. And to be frank, Macs today are increasingly becoming niche products again. Their market share outside the U.S. is barely worth mentioning.
