Why limit it to that? Why does not M$ write their code so that W7 only

Apple is preventing them from taking advantage of Apple's investments in
iTunes and in Mac OS X by not making these investments work with
non-Apple products; phones and other products competing with Apple. The

You missed what I said. I never stated I wanted Apple to invest money

back to write code to break it. With the massive profits, why not go a

They never cared much who made the hardware.
You are a little late to start
I'm not sure where to even start if you have never head of Apple's legendary
control issues. It's been talked about here, on the web, books,
television...magazines You also keep bringing up Psystar which has nothing
to do with what I'm talking about. Yes, Apple's plan has always been to

So Apple once again has 'fixed' iTunes so it will not work with palm pre at
all. Whom does this help or hurt? It doesn't do a damn thing for paying
apple customers...and for those who bought a pre, who may have considered a
mac or ipod, they are now at odds with Apple over their purposely
Apple is defending its brand and its infrastructure from the other
companies trying to make money on Mac OS (psyster, mostly) and from
iTunes - other phone vendors. Apple made those investments and are
trying to make sure competitors can't rip them off.
Why do you expect Apple to share its
How is MSI making money off apple? How is palm making money being able to
