If giving a near-monopoly on the operating system to a company that wants to
sell *applications* is such a great idea, how about trying this concept in
other industries?
A Coca Cola monopoly on all drink containers? Ford in charge of road
worthiness certification?
To my simply mind it seemed that there is a basic difference between
container and content.
Time Warner in charge of the internet? Oops, they are trying. Oh well.
