1) Apple has a mammoth uphill struggle to capture OS shares from Windows, but it hasn't stopped, has it?
But Apple making slow but gradual progress in gaining OSX market share and it is doing so profitably... Microsoft's enertainment division, on the other hand, is either losing market share or stagnant, and is losing money.
2) Since Apple used DRM it should have failed too, right?
Apple had iTunes... Its hard to explian the significance of iTunes in Apple's portable media player ecosystem in a few words, and its hard to understand unless you have experienced it. iTunes is actually a lousy media player, when compared to some of the alternatives, but has been the single most important piece of software that has made DRM on the iPod a palatable pill to swallow
