As long as Apple doesn't do anything to harm alternative platforms I admire their determination to provide the most elegant, usable, consumer devices possible.

As long as Apple doesn't do anything to harm alternative platforms I admire their determination to provide the most elegant, usable, consumer devices possible. I want the most usable device possible and I'm willing to accept some limitations to get it. It's a choice that's just as valid as buying the most hardcore Linux/OSS device you can find because you want the maximum flexibility and freedom.
