The idea is that in smaller markets based on sales (like video game consoles, MP3 players) can have a product be controlled from end to end by a single player for the best success. But in larger markets (like PCs and phones) you can be a player like Apple, but your only going to have a niche market; so Microsoft provides Windows and gets a large market share to let the OEMs worry about the rest. To quote Ballmer: "But when you get these categories that are 300 million, 500 million, a billion, a billion-five a year, the truth of the matter is you’re gonna want multiple points of manufacture, with a lot of innovation around it whether its supply chain, for geographic diversity, and our basic play with our software is to try and be super high volume"
