It's rather ridiculous to talk about "MS and Apple monopoly" given
that the two are arch-rivals and that Apple would prefer that no Apple
product ever run a single line of Microsoft code.

Uh, much of the code that runs on an Apple was written by Microsoft. For
example, MS-Word.

I'm sorry, but a single office suite does not constitute "much of the
code that runs on Apple". I did not say that there is no Microsoft code
that runs on Apple, I said that Apple would prefer that there not be.

Note that Word runs on Linux, too, so I guess there's a "MS and Linux
monopoloy".
