Evil Apple

What are the things that make the second biggest empire of the world an evil company.What makes an Apple more evil compared to Microsoft.

The industrial “ecosystem” of companies that prosper by supplying goods and services to customers who buy Apple products is much smaller than the ecosystem that grew up around Microsoft.

Of course Bill Gate's empire had for many years a license to print money because of its dominance of the market for PC operating systems and Office software. But that dominance opened up opportunities for countless companies, large and small, to provide hardware, software and services that meshed with the Microsoft products. Anyone could make and sell a PC, for example, whereas only Apple can make a Mac. Anyone could develop software to run under Windows, but only software approved by Apple can run on its i-Devices – which is why the software giant Adobe is so threatened by having its Flash animation program banned by Steve Jobs. In addition, Apple takes a 30% cut on every “approved” program that is sold. Microsoft, in contrast, was never able to levy a tax on developers selling Windows-compatible software. So while Bill Gates and co prospered mightily from their dominance of the market, other people prospered too – to the point where Microsoft claims that for every dollar it makes from Windows 7, other companies earn $18.52, and predicts that this ecosystem will sell “more than $320bn in products and services revolving around Windows 7″.
