Why would this interest a Mac Evangelist? It's not a Mac source making it harder to pass off as biased zealotry. This next quote also points out something that's good to be shared through non-Mac sources for the same reason. "If all that is true, why is Windows so popular, anyway? As anybody who is familiar with the history of computing is aware, Microsoft only adopted GUIs because Apple had demonstrated that the Macintosh with its GUI could maintain a significant market share even in the face of Microsoft's marketing might. The original Windows GUI was a clumsy knockoff of the Mac GUI, deliberately modified to be just enough different to avoid legal problems. Windows 95 is a slightly more consistent rehash."
