First off, OS=/=PC.

Second, Windows was a castoff OS purchased by Microsoft. All it would have taken was another investor. Without Microsoft, Apple would not have been so obssesed with proprietary software, and would not be capable of running only 15% of the programs.

Yes, the OS would have changed, but the PC would still be around in all likelihood.
