Last week, a number of Apple supporters took me to task for my comment that Apple made the technology equivalent of sugar water and that Steve Jobs gave up on his goal of changing the world. I’m hardly original in thinking this way. It does amaze me that not a single Apple fan cared about global warming, philanthropy, or even Apple’s lack of computing prowess. They earn their reputations every week. This week, I’ll argue that Apple did unintentionally change the world by making Windows — especially Windows 7 — better.
