Microsoft uses power to increase their own reach. Apple uses power to increase their own vision.

No arrow keys on the first Mac KB. No Floppy in the iMac. No BluRay now.

Again, Apple is ok with using power to leave off features that they don't 'see' the point of. Microsoft is ok with using power to leave off competition.

So Apple didn't see the point of Google Voice? Um, ok.

Defensive not offensive; hence the allowance of Skype.

Google Voice / Android is Google gunning for Apple [1]. You've got the roles reversed.
