You do realize Apple can do whatever it wants?
It makes it's own hardware and software afterall, they are by no means required to support ANYTHING else. So there seems to be no link between MS and Apple in that department. If MS made it's own hardware and slaved the OS to its hardware...more power to 'em, that is their decission, no one elses. And no one has the right to bash Apple, or any other company that choose a closed system.
As long as a company keeps its product competitive and as good as it can be under various circumstances, then who gives a damn if it's a closed or open system?
Also, on a side note..i think Apple will actually be offering other OSes. Namely Mklinux, and MacOS X Server.
And also be aware, it is NOT Apple's fault the Cloners quite making PPC mobos, there are plenty of PPC OSes out there that they could have picked up. But they wanted to make MacOS clones, and not support LinuxPPC, BeOS, etc. Can't blame Apple for the lack of hardware from other vendors. Can only blame Apple for not licensing out the ROM (which is their ROM, their choice and only their choice).
Now if you don't mind Edgy, would you reply and lay out the problems with a closed system? And/or compare and contrast Closed vs Open?
