The most important decisions you make are not the things you do, but the things you decide not to do.
Steve Jobs
Image
It wasn't that Microsoft was so brilliant or clever in copying the Mac, it's that the Mac was a sitting duck for 10 years. That's Apple's problem: Their differentiation evaporated.
