itunes

According to The Register, a UK based internet site, Microsoft is complaining that apple is building a monopoly with its downloadable music site, itunes. Microsoft states that only music downloaded from their site is available to use on the ipod, an extremely popular MP3 player that is available through Apple. Additionally none of the music downloaded from the itunes site is compatible with the windows based media players.
Do you think Apple is creating a rival monopoly to capture the portable music market and challenge some of Microsoft?s business?

i dont think apple is creating a monopoly or trying to compete with microsoft, because on intunes they have to pay for the songs they download so intunes has a right to limit what they're songs are played on
