Apple doesn't have to compete with MS to do well. Apple is more concerned with making products that they themselves would like to own and use. Just read the article (again) and enjoyed it again.

The company has proven itself incapable of expanding into new arenas or replicating its PC OS fortune." The Microsoft story isn't just dumb luck. It's also a decisive (if questionable) strategy, learning from previous mistakes (e.g. selling Basic for flat rates) and hard work (the employees aren't just sitting there). The component-based model has traditionally served the company well and has allowed users more freedom (within the platform) and power than Apple's comparatively narrow and forced one-fits-all experience. In the past decades, Mac OS was just a primitive toy compared to the agile and ground-breaking Amiga OS, and later the multi-tasking and feature-complete Windows 95/98/XP. With OS X and Vista the game has definitely changed though. danieleran: "Microsoft has never been able to successfully expand its range significantly outside the PC market, which is now slowing to a crawl." What about the Xbox 360, Xbox Live and the Xbox Marketplace? Wouldn't you say these are areas Microsoft has successfully expanded into and started to profit from? Xbox Live is the leading online console service, and the 360 has brought a customized, user-centric version of Windows to a whole new market. The 360 has arguably the best games this generation and the platform is also known for its solid development tools and frameworks. With the "new Xbox experience" launching this fall and rumors of a handheld 360 version in the near future, I would say this part of the company, at least, is definitely innovating hard and growing successfully in a tough market where the "monopoly" lies with the competitor(s). danieleran: “The lucky current that happened to bring Microsoft to the top has left it sitting in place above the stagnant desktop PC market.
