<So what! Apple has never had a monopoly in OS. And because they don't have a monopoly, they have not been able to leverage themselves into and then dominate new markets.> Sorry, but as far as desktop operating systems go, they had an enormous lead in the late 70s and early 80s. You can argue as to what's a monopoly, but they sure had something very close to it.
