Comment Smells like an Apple play (Score 1) 216
This sounds like an Apple move. Create an OS you control on (mostly) controlled hardware.. but then add the kicker of then controlling the other end of the internet as well.
It works, sure. It's just as annoying though--you're stuffed into their box instead of Apple's. Open source or not, Google is at the head.
I think if I had to change from a Microsoft environment I'd switch to a full Linux distro (I've done it before). More flexibility.
