But M$ *does* have the diversity of production that Apple is a little

You are astoundingly blind not to see it, you think free == not as
good.  It's not really the truth.  Commercial-OS apps have rarely
mattered to the extent Microsoft would love for you to believe.

Forte Agent for Usenet.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
