apple is a trend joke... that has no real power and no real value.... XB will go open source before it follows any business model from apple.... being profitable with less than 10% market share is not a prowess it's the strict minimum to still exist..... 

 

According to a recent news by BBC, Apple is now bigger than Microsoft.

How does a trend joke become bigger than what has 'real power and real value'. So I don't see any problem if Microsoft follows Apple's trend. In fact they followed throughout the history, with the mouse, with graphical user interface in the operating system and now with everything the Vista and 7 offers are only by following Apple.
