Lets get Real ... Apple is Playing for Keeps

Apple wants to dominate the Music Downloads business to drive sales of it iPods. Real wants a share of the downloadable music market. If Apple dominates the music market with iPods and controls the downloadable standard Real will wither and die leaving Apple in a stronger position to compete against Microsoft WMA.

So the question is: Is Apple stronger with Real supporting iPod hardware or not ?

Is Microsoft a stronger company now that it dominates the Office productivity suite ?

Is Microsoft a stronger company now because it owns the web browser market.

Apple wants to dominate this niche and if successful will be a more profitable company.

So whats bad about that.
