I don't care what the law says. what is moral? what is rational? What is just? (laws having little or nothing to do with any of those things.) I also think it's interesting that Microsoft got slammed for forcing buyers to buy systems bundled with IE (or some such thing), lost a suit in the EU over it, and was widely excoriated for being anti-competetive and violating anti-trust laws. How is this kind of infraction any less when Apple ties their hardware to their software? I have an Apple. It's the only computer I've ever used. That doesn't mean I like this attitude. Apple is wrong. Morally wrong and logically wrong. On this or any other planet.
I think it's interesting that Apple encourages users to run windows on the new Intel PC's, but sues people for running OS X on other companies computers.
