I think what people who say that the staff of the company would still be around are forgetting that most of them might not be working together or have a boss that pushes forward extremely hard.. It's how they work together as a group, not individuals.

If Apple never existed then something would have been in its place, its not such a big deal. I can easily live without Apple fanboys, Macs and iPhones.

Think about this: If Apple didn't exist, Microsoft wouldn't either!

Then something else would exist instead of Microsoft. Life is a big circle, one thing replaces another.

1	I'd probably be sitting in front of a Windows 2010.1764.968 computer, with the "New" and "Modern" Windows Classic theme, aero would still mean air and computers would be absolutely ugly. Fingers crossed. answered Nov 28 '10 at 12:54 Ross Walker 1.4k●12●23●35
