Two other hallmarks of Apple that are rarely discussed are arrogance and
greed.  And those two have kept the better qualities of Apple from being
triumphant in the market place.

advantage in my mind. In my world Apple has always made a better os and 
computers than the Wintel world. I do not think of Apple as arrogant or 
greedy, I think of Microsoft in that way though. It seems as though 
many on this list feel as though Apple has lost and Apple should become 
open to the Windows way of doing things. I feel exactly the opposite, I 
feel Apple has won, they have a better product and their decisions are 
often copied by everyone else months down the road, a true leader of 
innovation. If I felt that Apple was arrogant and had already gave it 
all away to Wintel I'd be using a pc.
