"We’re all better off if Apple remains one the underdogs. I like them as a 'challenger' brand that serves as a kind of catalyst for innovation. Meanwhile, I feel better about them not having quite enough power to do things they probably would, if they were larger. (I just can’t shake the feeling that, given the opportunity, they’d turn into a bully awfully quickly.)"
As of May, Apple is bigger than Microsoft. At what point will they become "larger"?
My argument wasn't that they're not large, but rather that if they get bigger yet, they'll probably do some crummy things. For example, it's hard to imagine them having taken the stand they did against Flash, five-ten years ago.
