Hello, I hate everything in the world. However, I bequeath my deepest hate towards Microsoft for their charitable deeds, because as with all entities that spawned from Satan's uterus (bet you didn't know Satan was a woman), every good deed comes with vile ulterior motive. I won't be surprised if most of the users declare Jihad on the world, after having exhausted their capacity to restart the computers on an absurdly frequent basis.
So cheers to Microsoft for its relentless, evil ambitions. And remember, when the world is inevitably taken over by robots, the robots commiting the hate crimes will without a doubt be powered by the Longhorn OS.
When it comes to the computer market, Apple struggles daily to try to reach 5% market share. Its a constant struggle and marginal gains have been made in the last years. The advent of digital music sales has created a new market that is akin to the wild-west where companies are scrambling to stake their claims.
With giants the likes of Microsoft jumping into the frey, it is important to establish a dominant position. Microsoft who is very bullyish has had proven success with growing horizontally and cornering key emergant markets. Them entering the console / video game entertainment market shows that Microsoft knows where the growth is and responds aggressively to corner that market.
By allying with HP, Apple can hedge its assets by establishing themselves as leaders in the digital musical delivery market. Beyond providing Apple with excellent brand exposure, it provides Apple with a market where they can achieve good growth.

I'm lovin' it.
