I would argue that Apple is the Microsoft of the Mac

the Mac clone fiasco.
Yea, but also take a look at what the Mac cloners were doing to Apple.
The clone companies got Apple to agree on cloning based on the fact that
they would work towards expanding the Mac market. They didn't do that,
they just went after the market Apple already had. Splitting up an
already small percentage amongst more companies just didn't work.
Well, that isn't totally true.
The clones did expand the market... and stole market share from Apple
too... by making better/faster Macs than Apple did.
