It seems a fair comparison; : hasn't NT been around as long as the Powermacs? ... I think the point being made by the earlier poster was that Microsoft's modern OS (NT, not 95) has been delivered, but Apple's (Copland to be generous, Gershwin is you only want to count something that is comparable to NT or UNIX) is still being worked on. Of course Apple has put resources into developing hardware also (hopefully they have realized that they are not really a hardware company anymore, that only their software is unique), something Microsoft doesn't have to be distracted by.
