Some tips to help you get an answer to your question:
Use a more descriptive title starting with "Ask HN:" and phrase your question in a way that will lead to a discussion rather than a yes/no answer.
I'd suggest: Ask HN: Is Apple following Microsoft's antitrust practices?
It seems to me that by restricting the iPad/iPhone to the iTunes/AppStore ecosystem Apple is acting similarly to Microsoft when they bundled IE and Windows. Am I wrong? What makes them different?
There is a number of different ways you can ask your question, that is just mine and I advise you to checkout the 'ask' page for more, probably better, examples. Also if you haven't yet you should read the guidelines page. http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
