Proprietary is a matter of degree. And Apple is highly proprietary. Consider the hardware side:

The Apple software license does not allow Mac OS X to be used on a computer that is not "Apple-branded."

I'm writing this on perfectly legal Windows PC that, like millions of others, is home-built.

Microsoft's Surface line is a baby step in Apple's proprietary direction. Hopefully, it won't succeed too well.
