"Monopoly" means having the majority of the market share, which Microsoft do :-p

There are a lot of advantages to Apple products, so don't discount them on the basis of not being able to swap a battery in a phone :-p


Editted to add: Having had to go through the issues of getting a Nokia phone fixed, I prefer the Apple way. It takes only as long as getting to and from the store and then putting the image of my phone back onto the new device. This as opposed to taking it to the repair centre, waiting while they "Field test" the thing, change a few parts over, and then give it back a week or two later without a loan phone to tide me over in the meanwhile.
