1. Apple is a monopoly is a way M$ can one have wet dreams about

a small monopoly, but one none the less.
They have monopolized EVERYTHING having to do with apple software, including the hardware.
They charge outrageous amount for both, and refuse to allow ANY competition in either the hardware (clones) or software side (google voice) (refusal to make Mac OS available on normal PC hardware)

Apple is a monopoly, which is why their market is and always will be so small.

Someone stupidly asked, how.. well this is how.

This is exactly how a monopoly operates. it does not matter what the market share is. in all things pacintosh/ianything, Apple is 100% owner and dominator of that market.

Even Microsoft has competition. in both hard and software.
