Very nice video production. It took a NUMBER of Macs to kill the PC. The original IBM PC was designed and built by engineers who wanted to create a modular, repeatable and expandable system. Enter Compaq Computer Corporation - and others. The MAC was simply a copy and meaningless enhancement of the XEROX Star built at XEROX PARC. - So how could you have said that the MAC has lower market share any better -- you couldn't.

You can see the Xerox Star here.
