8. You have to ask who lost?

The people whom lost their life or no longer have quality of life because of the companies Apple contracts to build their products. The people that live in polluted areas thanks to the lack of environment friendly processes used to build these devices. You and your kids lose because Apple designs products that do not support having a lithium ion battery replaceable without voiding the warranty... so landfill is the supported option. How about Apple being named the 'Least Green' tech company in history.

The agreement was that Apple would drop the "look and feel" long standing lawsuit... It had nothing to do with the antitrust case the Feds and EU had against Microsoft. How would Apple dictate the outcome of a government probe especially when Apple and Steve Jobs were flat out broke?

Microsoft further won because of the agreements Apple made with MS Office for Mac.
