That's completely wrong. Yes, money is how you keep score. But no, just because Microsoft had a higher "score" (protip: microsoft won) doesn't mean that Apple's computers suck.

Gruber is not saying that Apple makes more money than X, therefore X sucks. He is saying Apple makes more many than X, therefore Apple is winning.

No one has ever claimed that Apple won the PC war.

Depends upon whether you count iPads as PCs or not - if you do, then yes, Apple is on the verge of winning the PC war.

I think you're mistaken. There have been around 40 million iPads sold, whereas Windows 7 alone has sold over 400 million copies (released a few months before the iPad). iPad surpassing PC sales would be a heck of an achievement.

Winning the PC war in the sense of becoming the leading PC vendor - overtaking Windows will take another decade. :-)
