OK, so Apple makes this Andyroid and, through the mismanagement endemic to the company at the time, it's released into the wild. Years later, the Andyroid is caught by Microsoft, which reprogrammed and re-released it into the wild--but deliberately.

Ingenious. The Macalope tips his antlers toward Redmond.

Well, OK, maybe that's not what happened. But it pretty much worked out that way anyway.
