"I don't really think anything Microsoft does puts pressure on Apple."

Or as FakeSteveJobs [1] put it: "You know what? I love competing with Microsoft. I really do."

Microsoft was never really a consumer product company. It's main money makers, Windows and Office have always depended mainly on business and enterprise. Compare with Apple who always had their eye on home computing since inception.
