Steve Jobs made the same comparison in '95:
"The only problem with Microsoft is, they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste, and what that means is — I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way. In the sense that they don't think of original ideas and they don't bring much culture into their product. And you say, why is that important? You know, proportionally spaced fonts come from type-setting and beautiful books, that's where one gets the idea. If it weren’t for the Mac, they would never have that in their products. So I guess I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success, I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products. Their products have no spirit to them. Their products have no sort of spirit of enlightenment about them. They are very pedestrian. And the sad part is that most customers don't have a lot of that spirit either. But the way we're gonna ratchet up our species is to take the best and to spread it around to everybody, so that everybody grows up with better things and starts to understand the subtlety of these better things. And Microsoft's just, you know, McDonald's. So that's what saddens me. Not that Microsoft has won, but that Microsoft's products don't display more insight and more creativity."
