If you really want Apple to have two platforms, these would be iOS and Mac OS. Counting the web as one of them is a bit preposterous. They don't "support" the web, they tolerate it, because they simply can't block users from accessing it (I'm sure they wish they could). -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
