Of course, this will result in Apple becoming too big for its britches, just like MS. I predict that the complaints that people have about MS will be repeated for Apple. Power corrupts...

It probably doesn't help Microsoft too much when their own employees seem to prefer the Apple OS. According to Bloomberg, Julien Boidin, a Microsoft employee in Paris who has an iPhone and a Macintosh computer, was heard to say: "I tried to buy an iPad in Seattle when I was there about 15 days ago, but they were sold out; so I decided to wait till it came to Europe. I live in Normandy and commute for four hours a day. I needed something for the train ride." ryck

Apple's been too big for its britches for quite some time. Apple and Microsoft both have long histories of control freakery; it simply manifests in different ways, that's all.
I will say that I prefer a company to become valuable by making products that people really like, rather than by strong-arming the competition with aggressively monopolistic practices. But that's a whole 'nother conversation altogether...
