Hi

I don't think that Apple doesn't find value in their Web platform,  
WO.  Rather, Apple is a much smaller company that does not have  
literally Billions of dollars waiting to be spent.  They have limited  
resources and WO is not one of their core products, hence it does not  
get that much attention.  Apple concentrates its resources on its  
core products.  You kind of see this in other ways, with the  
languishing of .Mac and other half hearted attempts.

M$ on the other hand, feels threatened if they do not absolutely  
control everything, everywhere.
