That would be a legitimate answer only if there was an actual license agreement that came with the disk. As it is, there's no such thing.

Well, that depends on if their controlling nature keeps the majority of users from doing what they want with the device. I'm a geek, but I just bought an iPhone when my old phone died. That's because while other OSes allow more tweaking by the user, I've found overall that with Apple's products I have to do much less tweaking to get the device to a place where it does everything I want it to do. A week into owning my new iPhone, it already does everything I want better than my old phone, where I upgraded the OS several times to get things to work right. An Android phone would also probably have served me well, but I've reached a point where I'll happily spend the extra money to not have to spend a lot of my time customizing my new toy before I can play with it. The point where Apple's mistakes will turn me off to their products is if those mistakes result in a device that *doesn't* do everything I want without extensive tweaking, or when I find that their controls keep me from customizing my device to do what I want to do with it. So far, that hasn't happened.

I can't speak to most of your points, but the one on lack of sub-accounts is pure BS. My wife's been playing single-player happily for several days on a guest account on my copy, and I've had a friend playing on another one even while I was playing logged into my account. They've got three guest accounts built in for just that purpose. Sure, they disable achievements and multiplayer play, but they're quite playable for those of us who don't care much about either of those things.

Meh, I just went and did this with the dimmers in the house my wife & I just bought. If you know what you're doing, it's a half-hour job, tops. And i discovered that whoever'd wired two of the three I replaced had forgotten to connect the grounding wire when they did.
