Yes. Apple Inc. has made themselves into a monopoly by requiring users to use only apps purchased through them. The next thing you will see to further prove this is Apple rolling out a plan to remotely disable jail broken phones. Ridiculous! Can you image if you bought a toaster and the toaster maker said that you could only toast their brand of bread in it or they would come to your house and permanently unplug it. Just my thoughts... but it seems that once you purchase an item with your own money it should become yours to do with what you wish.
But back in the real world:
No Apple is not a monopoly. They make computers, MP3 players, Mobile phones etc. Many other companies operate in these markets and the consumer is free to choose which product they wish to buy.

What are computer spreadsheet programs?
There are several spreadsheet programs available. The most well known is probably Microsoft Office Excel. However, Open Office has a spreadsheet which has open source code and is available free under a GNU license from Sun Microsystems (see link below).
A spreadsheet is a program that allows the user to enter data in a tabular format (with columns and rows) and then perform various calculations and other manipulations on that data. For example, a user might enter a column of sales figures and instruct the software to total that column. Later, if the user wishes to change a value already entered, remove a value or add a new value, the spreadsheet will recalculate automatically without requiring the user to re-enter all of the values.
Spreadsheets can be used for anything from basic accounting to complex data analysis including graphs, statistics, and regressions. Spreadsheets can also sort data, for example alphabetizing a list of inventory.
Other contributors have said:- An electronic spread sheet is when we work in the Ms- Excel Then they have made the Books the combination of the Books is called an electronic Spread sheet. Because it runs on the computer so its called electronic spreadsheet programs.
UNCH means "unchanged". It usually occurs when the stock market that the stock is listed on is closed. Now, when I view it there is also a number after UNCH but I'm not sure what the number means. Hope this helps.

In hopes to creature a new age of Operating Systems (or OS's) the two companies joined together and released PPC (Power Performance Computing) software which was a benchmark in Apple's journey toward creating MacOS.
Taligent itself led to few other hits and was dissolved and absorbed by Apple Inc again in the late 1990's.

Are Apple products better than Microsoft products and give 3 reasons why?
Many people have their own opinions why either are better than the other, but my opinion is Apple is better.
Reasons
___________
* Reason 1: Apple have small wireless keyboards and mouses small enough to fit in a luggage, and letters are still touchable and aren't too small, but Microsoft is big and can't fit anywhere also isn't wireless
* Reason 2: Apple has many more products than Microsoft it has it's own Apple computer, Ipods, Ipads, Iphones, and many more also, Apple has it's very own and very popular website "Itunes", but Microsoft only has it's very own computer and it's very own popular website "Microsoft Word"
*Reason 3: The Apple company had to sue Microsoft for creating a brand similar to
Apple, because Microsoft copied the Apple computer into making the Microsoft computer, but Apple still let them sell their computers
*BONUS REASON: The Stock Market on Apple is higher than Microsoft it is very popular many talk about it on TV
Creator of Companies: Apple - Steve Jobs Microsoft - Bill Gates
So those are my reasons why I think Apple is better.
