I'm referring to the fact, that Apple tends to think very wide it's quest for dominance and loves when it can secure new exclusive parts (I.e. paying Intel to get first batch of wafers) and even better when it can buy a company and claim exclusivity. This is very different than Microsoft, which may sell PC periphials etc. but generally has no problem living in an ecosystem they don't control 100% (I.e. it is a hell of a lot easier installing Linux on my Dell laptop than my Macbook Air). Eventually Apple will bury themselves by burning too many bridges - I.e. imagine if Samsung cuts off their supply of NAND chips, SSD drives, IPS panels etc.?! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
