LOL pretty much my opinion....
Anyway me I approach the issue the other way..... if MS disappeared tomorrow who today can pick up the market..... the open software world can't make it alone.... and apple is even more a joke as a replacement..... you could put every single industry apple is in (phone, pc, laptop, tablet) and they still don't dent the empire MS has today....
Because let's be honest beside nice aluminum boxes for basic customers and maybe some solutions for schools now and final cut.... what does apple do?????? Nothing.... MS it's the single most dominant software company present in every field from the auto mobile industry, the military, office productivity, entertainment, heck soon your home will run on MS software.... it's way more subsidiaries than apple and oracle combined have.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_acquired_by_Microsoft_Corporation and that's counting the money invested in others (including apple back in the late 90s even though they do not have cash in it)....
