Apple doesn't have to work with OEMs, resellers, retailers, or (generally speaking) enterprises. Basically, all of Apple's customers are the consumers themselves, so Apple has a single consumer price. Microsoft has various groups of customers, and it adjusts the prices and products accordingly.

No-one in the software business (with the exception of Google, sort of) is trying to do that anymore. Consumers hate it. That's why I think MS should form two separate companies: one consumer facing and one enterprise facing. Then they can both focus on their customer.
