@jcsuperstaruk: Steve Jobs once delivered one of his sharpest criticisms of Microsoft, arguing that its biggest problem was not its success, but what he saw as a lack of originality, culture, and taste in its products. He criticized Windows and described much of Microsoft’s work at the time as “third rate.” The comments captured one of Silicon Valley’s defining rivalries. Apple built its identity around design, user experience, and tightly integrated hardware and software, while Microsoft pursued enormous scale by making Windows central to the PC industry. Different philosophies, both of which helped shape modern computing.
