I'd agree on the size thing, but completely disagree on the MS thing. Apple is just as proprietary as Blu-ray, and should not have won out. MS is more compatible and customizable.
Sorry, but I think Apple is Crapple. MS might be a monopolizing, money grubbing, take over everything company, but their products are universal and vastly superior. Apple is the dumbed-down version of technology with a cherry coating to appeal to the masses. If it wasn't for the I-pod and a few snobbish graphic designers, Apple would be dead.
