Microsoft has got 90% of the computer market by the balls. They don't really need any other tricks than that (such as DRM or whatever). For Apple or any company, it's a lot easier to expand themselves in a place where Microsoft isn't already. I think that you understand that Microsoft got its 90% not just by selling quality software, and that you understand why so many shops absolutely refuse to sell a computer without Windows even though there's a market for it. Isn't this the most damaging thing going on every day in the industry ?
