Good for Apple. Maybe the competition will make Microsoft get on the ball and improve their products and how they're presented.

No doubt their dominance in the electronic music business and mobile devices are the reason they've soared past Microsoft. They're being investigated by the Department of Justice for their business tactics in the music industry. They account for 70% of the electronic music industry. I believe 80% is considered a monopoly in the US. I hate iTunes.

No doubt, considering Microsoft don't have much in the way of those things in comparison. And the fact that Apple have been milking their iphone market for all it's worth.
I can't stand iTunes either, but due to the fact that I have an ipod I'm stuck with it. Stupid, slow system resource hogging pile! Thank goodness for good quality portable speakers and headphones. :D
