I don't agree with the statement "it is dominant because the market favors a bad open architecture over a good closed one". A bad open architecture will beat a good closed architecture because of the increased competition in a free market with multiple actors will create a superior product. Saying that the market favors an open architecture makes it sound like a moral choice.
Sure the Mac has advantages because Apple knows and controls everything. But an open archiecture like x86 offer more performance, more software and more hardware. And it does it cheaper and more convenient.

Hey Guys,
Even though the MAC may ship on x86 architecture based chips, it can't beat the Windows based PCs in the real world as far as performance is concerned and lets be real. WINDOWS IS BETTER THAN THE MAC OS ANYDAY.
