Possibly, but we can never know exactly how that relationship was structured - they may not have been able to, may not have wanted to. Or may not have had access to information in a timely way. > The OS vendor is really about the only one that will be up to > date with their tools regardless of whether the most popular > tool is from someone else or not. Not if they are sharing information and controling their releases to structure it that way. > Apple's business is not to support or prop up someone else; > it's hardware and software that they make and sell. That's a generalization of a very complex business environment. With that approach then, they should simply kill all third party development except where third party involvement will stem any migration to other platforms or will increase their own touch costs. That means the majority of developers for the Mac should just give up, unless their exit strategy is to sell themselves to Apple.
