How has this managed to be moderated +4, Insightful? This mindless b*tching about companies that aren't popular 'round here seems to rack up karma like nothing. Now:
1.) This has been said, in much more eloquent fashion, on at least TWO prior threads. Give some redundant here.
2.) Of course it's control: control of their resources, as you pointed out. However, just because the resources used remain the same, the interface, ad space, etc. are not. Again, look up some of the more apt analogies already up on the board, it's essentially getting something for nothing at someone else's expense.
3.) Oblig. Apple vs. MS response to your statement: "Its [sic] control. Microsoft have [sic] always demonstrated that they want to control the way users experience the internet, and as such do anti-competitive things, such as this, to ensure no one can wrestle control away from them." Well, DUH, they try to control your experience? Up to a point, that's what a GUI and app design standards are for. Now for the ref: Apple controls these things much more tightly, yet we love Apple. Flamebait/Troll. MS sucks. More Insightful.
I could go on and on this morning. Please, folks, let's think just a little bit before we moderate 'round here. This is just asinine.
