In which market do they have a monopoly exactly? None. The have a large share of some markets (Portable MP3 players for example), but no monopolies.I'm pretty sure using all their own everything wont make them a monopoly, they have too many successful competitors.
Well rumors of Snow Leopard being Intel only will kill off support for PPC and within 5 years or so Apple will be dropping support for the older Intel Macs. So not initially but eventually if they are using their own chipset this would hopefully stop the clones.

Except that Mac OS will continue to work on older Macs without said chipset and therefore also non-Macs.
