Yeah Aki I think you are just an opensource basher, looking to prove the inadequacies of open source. Truth is without open source windows would be much more expensive. Apple would remain the same. Apple does not depend so much on what others do while windows always tries to shut down the competition. Let me color it a little on what I see (this is just my opinion). If there are quotes of "the mission" from apple and from windows, window's would be 3e (embrace, extend, extinguish) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish, while from apple, "Let me put a team with yours".
That is why people don't bash on apple or opensource. As I said earlier, the two (apple and opensource) work together ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook) but windows and windows fans for some reason always find a way to bash both of these, calling one too expensive and the other too cheap.
For those who say my arguments are flawed, I've put you to the challenge
of your promoting your favorite OSes and Systems. I'm still waiting to read corrections.
That there is how to raise a fanboy flame. I believe all Oses are ok. I thought the only point of contention in this thread is business practices.

@AKI I don't understand is why you of all people want to use***products that offer *no clear overall* advantage over the others. Apple usually fools people (mostly the uninformed) into using their stuff. For what logical reason would you want to champion such a useless cause (demanding crapple open up their stuff)? They tried opening with darwin but no one is interested in developing for that shit.
If people want to limit themselves let them!

@Ashok I know about the permissive BSD license very well, but you remember I talked about *honour* earlier. You just clarified my point by* Differentiating between IBM and Apple. * IBM's Proactive blowback VS. Apple's Low down dirty shameful little contribs The rip-off though legal it still a rip-off

Yeah go ahead call them up. Let us know (25 word limit please) how it went with the call center attendant in philipines or india.
@Ashok,
Thanks for the attempted corrections, however your ubuntu links show nothing about OSX Lion and Ubuntu. I believe this was the help wanted by the original poster. You have embraced the MAC system quite well, but at the same time you are pro-Open Source. How does this work out? Is this not what I wrote on another thread, Unix kernel devotees turning to totally closed systems?
Regarding my calls to India and the word count limit you place, I've been away from M$ for many years. However, this is quite interesting now so as a renewed interest in the war, please please ensure that your Open Hardware platforms are in place. Who knows, my renewed interest may one day take me to Richmond where I can lay my case for all the losses that the enterprise is taking in due to leaving hardware platforms open. If totally proprietary systems can get away with anti-competitive behaviours, then I see no reason why others cannot follow suite.
Some limited thots. :-)
