yeah, and they also stole a lot of ideas from their more creative counterparts.. like the GUI

Also one of the Mac's early advantages was that they had a standardized SDK, so all of their software looked the same, making it easy to learn any program that was available. PC software, on the other hand, was all over the place, with everybody trying to create their own interface.

Visual Basic changed that. With a standard set of menus and dialog boxes etc, it wasn't long before a bunch of top-notch shareware emerged for the PC... all of which looked and worked the same way.

Sorry for saying stuff everybody already knows, but I'm on a roll down memory lane and I can't find the brakes. ;-)
