... except they tried to bring the desktop with them and failed. Apple's smart enough to know a different OS belongs for the right device, a mobile IOS on a mobile device and a desktop OS on a desktop computer.

From a UI perspective, Microsoft failed horribly with the desktop experience but did a decent job with the touch based experience.

or in other words, Microsoft tried to make a "jack of all trades, master of none."
