For years there was no comparison between a Mac and PC.. Macs were the work horse of the century for publishing. Thats all I would give credit for to a Mac...

To find a variety of software for them was almost imposible, unless it was graphics and publishing software..

besides that the normal user could not afford it anyway..
Now the PC was a fantastic invention...

It did not serve the industry at first because it was so weak in power etc. But an individual who wanted to learn a simple program called Dos, could have a ball with it. Then Mr Gates showed up with Window and all pooy broke loose...
Since that time Mac has made there machines more compatible for everyday users but still the problem lingers about software. When I retired over 2 years ago, Mac still had a small selection of software avaiable for there machines. Personally I do not think that Mac will never surpass the PC in use by individuals. If they do the PC will have evolved into something even better by then.. hehe
Just think, there will be people who would argue with me......hehe
Just my two cents..
