"And since windows ripped off apple's first OS, there's some bad blood there and steve jobs is not a man who forgets." Er, they both ripped Xerox. Why do you think Apple dropped that lawsuit? And Lew, I heartily agree with you. Closing their architecture down was a way, way stupid move. Any such company either changed or went under. Where are the companies with proprietary memory modules? Where are the companies with proprietary expansion boards? It's all gone.
