He isn't getting away with anything. He is simply running a company that
makes computers and writes software the way the vision of the company and
Steve Jobs sees the computer industry. If you don't like it, fine. That is
what the wintel world is for.
Unlike MS, Apple is not set out to dominate the computing world. They just
want to attract enough people to keep the Apple vision alive. I for one,
along with millions of othesr like the Apple vision. Always have. I find
the Wintel world a generic place full of vendors trying to scam you out of
you hard earned cash by nickel and diming you to death with crappy hardware
and software. After filtering through it all, you usually end up with the
same amount of quality software as you have on the Mac.
At least we computer users have a choice, unlike what the DOJ would like you
to believe. Lets leave it at that.
Cheers.
