There, fixed it for you.
Apple's very dominance will be its undoing.
Microsoft has already been made stronger for the long term by having to go through the US and EU antitrust challenges.
Apple has gotten more of a free pass, but its day of reckoning is coming. And its current flagship products and services will be more and more subject to competition. Its Asian manufacturing practices will be more and more subject to daylight scrutiny. And its corporate leadership and R&D will go to eutrification.
Eight years from now, Apple will be another [dead Mac walking].
It will be on the list with Eastman Kodak, Motorola, Sony, Sears, Sun Microsystems, and (especially!) Yahoo: Companies that were on the top of the world, but now are on the bottom of the shoe.
