Is this sentence wrong? "since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no..."
Is this sentence with bold words wrong or ambiguous?---
"If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them."
I guess here what Steve Jobs wanted to say should be:"If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, no personal computer would have them (the multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts). But Windows copied the Mac, which made this likely."
