I wonder what this means to the future of independent operating systems. I also wonder what it means to non-Apple store approved software, to personal privacy, security, and to the very idea of debugging if one manufacturer crushes the competition with hardware that is almost as complex as the software running on that same platform. Or even if competing processor makers somehow adopt a similar strategy. Seems to me that increasing complexity in the hardware level also means that very difficult bugs will increasingly be inaccessible to fixing by non-privileged developers. Austin
