Six years is only arbitrary because that's when I really started to notice the rivalry between Mac and PC, and the fact that everyone seemed to be ditching their smaller flash MP3 players for iPods.
So in that time, Apple has released 3 OS' that are improvements on the previous one. They're coming out with Lion this summer. They re-invented touch screen technology for the masses. They developed the best-selling individual smartphone on the planet. They re-invented the tablet computer. They've continued to improve their desktop and laptop computers.
And they also released the Apple TV. Something I never really understood, and still don't quite see the point of. Another thing I never understood was the Macbook Air. No disk drive, I'm not sure if there's a USB... its existence still baffles me, since it's not like the Macbook/Macbook Pros are particularly clunky devices.
So while there are some unnecessary/unusual efforts by Apple over that time, there isn't a Windows Vista on its record. I guess that was my point.
