You've made it clear you're not an Apple fan David. That doesn't sway me at all - and it's OK because not everyone will appreciate their philosophy. The reason Apple hardware and software worked so comparatively seamlesslessly and reliably through Systems 7,8,9 and now 10 is that the software WAS locked to the hardware. Rightfully so, Apple dictated how the architecture would be applied by software vendors and the result was proper integration. Don't even think of persuading me otherwise (LOL!) - I've been using the gear professionally since 1984 and have been heavily involved in development of real-world publishing solutions on both platforms.
