You wouldn't have multiple hardware manufacturers making PCs. You would end up with just one, and that is Apple. It would be an even worse Monopolistic state than we have now with Microsoft. |
Indeed, Apple would make an even worse monopolist. That isn't in antithesis with them being better than MS - as far as innovation in tech world is the subject - as a competitor among peers.
We'll see how they fare in the smartphone market where they're now estabilished as the incumbent, against the up-and-coming competition of Android devices.
My suspicion is that they will not rest on their laurels, and will keep materializing innovations. It seems more like a corporate culture / mission statement thing that a marketshare one, and Jobs keeps the helm very firmly.
