I agree with Photon. I would love to see this play out for curiosity sake at least.

And Microsoft makes hardware. Are they a hardware co? Jeep makes baby strollers. Are they a stroller company?
Challenging this in court is very dangerous for the entire industry. If a court decided that it was somehow an anti trust violation and the Apple computer brand that is software + hardware = trademarked product is a monopoly, where's the incentive for a company to innovate now.
I want a $75 Wii. Nintendo shouldn't have a monopoly on the ability to play Wii games.
Why can't I install Tomtom software on my $75 GPS?
I want iPhone OS X on my PSP.
I want Toyota engines in my Ford.
Go after Apple for the bad stuff they are doing like forcing Safari and tying iTunes to iPods or DRM in the music store, not for making a hardware/software+services product.
