Basically every PC is a Mac or trying to be one 



Apple Macintosh paved the way for PC industry

"Apple was years ahead of its time. The Mac OS allowed users to operate programs and open folders inside collapsible 'windows,' something Microsoft picked up in its Windows operating systems," The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "You could argue that every PC is a Macintosh, because of the similarity of Windows to the original Mac OS."

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, "Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak recently said: 'There was a time when Windows wasn't Windows. They had Microsoft DOS, and DOS was lines you had to type (on screen). ... And the funny thing is, when they switched over — Windows 95, Windows 98 — now they've got a Macintosh.'"

"Though Apple controls less than 5 percent of the desktop-computer market, the company has blazed a trail of innovation and ingenuity that began with the Mac," The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. "Today, Apple continues to set the tone for the computer industry. Its foray into music has yielded the wildly popular iPod and the iTunes Music Store."
