There is a fundamental difference between an Apple product and a generic PC. The PCs are a commodity - like a bushel of corn.

When Scully tried to commoditize the Mac he ended up with a bunch of assemblers fighting to build the cheapest computer that would run the Mac OS. Apple had always worked to build the best computer to run the Mac OS. What happened was predictable. Disaster for Apple and a stain on its reputation.

I didn't know that.
