They would probably loose the content licenses. The contracts between the content holders and Netflix says probably something about a right to cancel the contract in case Netflix is bought.
They do not have similar specs. They might have some of the same components but resolution, battery lifetime and weight are all better on the MacBook Pro. If you just look at the processor, ram and hard drive then every non apple computer will be cheaper.

Does Apple want to win? They are not trying to go to cover the complete market and filling everybody's wants. In other markets doesn't one company covers the complete market. For example Ferrari is not going for the same market like Toyota, but are they failing because of that?
