Both have given us tools that have closed communication gaps, created new avenues for creativity, educated billions, and transformed our worlds mostly for the better. Both have had their products used in medicine, space travel, and even simple kiosks. It is impossible to deny their positive impact on humanity. Open source has a role too.

It might be a matter of perspective, but I see their products as enabling humanity. Even their competitive squabbles have generally worked in our favor. I'm sure we can find examples of both making mistakes, but their track record is positive overall.
