One correction Betty.
The underlying OS for Apple is not Linux, but Unix which is not Open
Source. Linux is very similar to Unix. There are a few lawsuits
against Linux because it is so close to Unix.
Part of SCO's lawsuit was based on some of this.

What's your point? Apple has 10% or so of the market and doesn't
have a monopoly in computers or software, has an underlying open
source OS. Microsoft has 80-90% of the market and is close to a
monopoly, with a closed, proprietary OS. So you buy the monopoly
product, and avoid the company that has the smallest market share
then claim that Apple has a monopoly at 10%.
Not logical. If you don't like Apple products, that's your choice.
Where's the monopoly?
