Don't think so. Apple like Microsoft has its issues with OS and updates. There are horror stories on both sides. Problem with Apple is that their devices are more like black boxes now. Not scalable or plug'nplay. iPhones and iPods were getting jail broken very early in the process and still are because they're restrictive in the way they want you to use their devices. Microsoft on the other end is still much more open, that's probably why there are more security issues and attacks on their OSs than any others. But this seems to be changing. Every new OS is getting
tighter. If the industry moves towards an Apple style model I think it's only going to encourage more jailbreak. I think it's bad to restrict people in using devices only a certain way. The point of having a computer and OS is to be able to customise both hardware and functionality. That's what makes kids smarter and more creative. Not pushing buttons and sliding touch screens on online social media.
