It's a competitor. By creating its Application division, Apple decided to be a new Microsoft and behaves as such. - Apple does not know where to go. If you look at the iTunes 7 UI, it's a Windows UI. Apple thinks the wow factor is everything whereas it's definitely the Bullshit factor they are moving toward. There are 2 main issues:

I'm sick and tired of these new widgets apple adds in 5 different ways to their own apps. The gear widget, browser-style tabs, source lists, etc. etc. I think the rule should be if it's in >1 Apple app, it should be in interface builder for all devs to use. Hear hear!
