Is this "Apple vs PC" the equivalent of "electric vs ICE" [internal combustion engine] ?

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars like this:

• For no reason at all your car would crash twice a day
• Every time they repainted the lines on the road you‘d have to buy a new car
• Occasionally, your car would die on the motorway for no reason: you would just accept this, restart and drive on
• Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre (like a left turn) would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you‘d have to reinstall the engine
• Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT." But then you would have to buy more seats
• Apple Macintosh would have a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on 10% of the roads
• The oil, water temperature and alternator warning lights would be replaced by a single "general car fault" warning light
• New seats would force everyone to have the same size bum
• The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying
• Occasionally, and for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key, and grasped the aerial
• GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need them nor want them. (Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to drop by 50%). Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department
• Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same way as the old car
• And, quite teasonably, you would have to press "Start" to switch off the engine

For reason 13 alone, I think I shall be swapping to an iMac in the next few weeks :)
