What can be done to prevent history repeating itself?
I don't know what history that would be. If we're talking Macintosh era then Apple has never had a majority stake. If we're talking Apple II era then we can say Apple had a larger portion of the market but if they held the majority marketshare it was very short.

This is encouraging because doomsday journalists like to make it seem like the Macintosh lost its marketshare to the dominant MS when in fact Macs have never had large marketshare and Apple has never lost a %70 advantage to MS. History cannot repeat itself because the history that some offer is incorrect.

iTMS could lose but that would take a huge gaffe from Apple and damn near anti trust actions by MS.
