I believe we should first define what technology is before criticizing. - the practical application of science to commerce or industry - engineering: the discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems; "he had trouble deciding which branch of engineering to study" wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn<http://www.google.co.ke/url?q=http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn%3Fs%3Dtechnology&ei=9zn-S5TbNKay0gTqwJjnDQ&sa=X&oi=define&ct=&cd=1&ved=0CBcQpAMoAA&usg=AFQjCNFR2vOcYU3Ga2uop1jYnNIl94Y_xA> I think all of this companies have played a key role in advancing technology to where it is today. Otherwise its a matter of measuring (which criteria do we use?) who has contributed more than the other. Technology keeps on advancing every now and then, and there are reasons to why it advances in a certain direction. I believe microsoft and apple's *competition* have contributed a lot towards the technology we have today. Each one of them has unique products that impact a lot on today's technology.

they did bring scalable fonts (TrueType) into mainstream usage ... same with SCSI ... 24bit color ... bringing LCD screens into the mainstream (when most desktops were shipping with crt displays)... wifi on laptops etc . What they did was bring a lot of better technology into the mainstream by becoming early adopters and marketing it well ... You would not be having hardware innovation if someone had not adopted these innovations into salable product ...
