What about the integration between OS and applications? Different market
segments right? So why should one corporation be able to leverage its
products in one segment as a direct consequence of its dominance in another

there may even be production synergies. But ( I hope) Nestlé can't produce
coffee that tastes better after one of their TV dinners, and worse after
anyone elses.
