Hi :) Apple are a form of Bsd, which is unix-based, and so a lot of the UI is very similar to stuff we have in gnu&linux and often originated in gnu&linux. So it might be a bit more difficult to make a fuss. Their licensing agreements are a bit less draconian too.
Also Apple are keen for people to write apps for their app-store and really keen to promote that. Whereas Windows just make speeches but then contradict themselves with their EULAs and licensing agreements. Well, thats the way it seems to me at the moment anyway.

Because they don't issue out their own productivity software? Or is it because they aren't on such a sue spree? Doesn't matter either way, I get your drift. Also, did anybody get my suggested publishing? And is there any sort of collaboration settings as well?
