The only ones who lose are Wintel and Berst. If Apple decides to limit access to competition and will not support clones and get the OS out at the lowest possible price to users, they will end up losing the total market. Developers will not support Apple alone unless the market share improves. There was some improvement of overall units with Mac OS when several clones were available. Repeat after me.
Competition is good.
