Microsoft was raked over the coals because they actually possessed a pure monopoly.
In 2002 Internet Explorer had a 96.6% browser marketshare. [1]
In 1999 Microsoft Windows made up around 95% of desktop operating systems in use. [2]
In terms of antitrust law, IANAL but, I think you'd have a harder time convincing a court that the App Store is a monopoly of any sort. I don't think you can just break down markets into sections like that and claim they have a monopoly on that section.
