To be fair, Microsoft is not a monopoly but has some monopoly-like powers. Apple is not a monopoly, either, in the portable music player market. The question is whether they have monopoly-like power over that market. The only place where they seem to come close, since there is competition, was with their big memory chip deal that shut out the competition.
