Yes, and although I'm still using my Mac, I've officially stopped
encouraging colleagues to support and buy Mac until I'm given reason
to believe that Apple are any different when it comes to 'screwing'
the end-user.

To paraphrase this week's MWJ article, Apple's in a financial crunch at the moment, because costs are up, hardware sales are down, and things are generally in the doldrums in the PC hardware industry. They can improve this quarter's profits by getting some income from iTools users, and at the same time reduce the cost of running iTunes by encouraging the leeching users (warez dudez, people with multiple accounts, etc) to go elsewhere or pay up.

And of course selling iPods to Windows users :)

Have fun,
Shay
