  I hope we can all agree that Apple has never really been
  an open standards company

We cannot. I strongly disagree. At least in the web space there is a lot of innovation comming from or strongly supported by Apple.

Not claiming they have never done anything for the community but they have far more closed projects than open ones.

It's complicate. I believe each and every of their closed project depends a lot on a number of open ones—just take a look at Settings->About->Legal on iPhone or take a look at http://www.apple.com/opensource/. On the other hand they do not contribute to all of OSS they use. But http://www.opensource.apple.com/ is still impressive.

They are open just like Microsoft :-)
