Subject: An inferior product won, but it won.

>From The Red Herring magazine, January, 1996, interview with Steven Jobs
on the need for multi-platform support:

Jobs: I gotta tell you, multi-platform compatibility ain't what it
used to be. Windows has won. It beat the Mac unfortunately,
it beat UNIX, it beat OS/2.
The Herring:
But it took ten years. [Laughs.]
Jobs: We can all laugh now at how long it took, but then we can all
cry about the fact that it did happen. An inferior product won,
but it won.
