Apple Doesn't Have Control?
Apple created an entirely closed marketplace for music through iTunes and the iPod that no other product has successfully done! The point that one device was more than 60-70% of the market kills innovation, let alone that it was laced with DRM for years and still is at this point.

Saying that Microsoft is the whole problem is a joke to be quite honest. Apple has a strangle hold over it's minority that Microsoft could only imagine to have over it's majority. The largest point to be made is that Microsoft provided a solid, working base that allowed programmers to create something for Windows 95 that could potentially work even in XP, let alone 7 in a wild chance.
