It is the Mac OS vs Win 3.1 history all over again. But this time there are Google and not Microsoft the ones who steal the thunder from the Jobs god.

- nailer 17y agoTo me it seems more the Lotus Notes and Win 3.1. Ie: a company is deliberately not allowing someone else's software to run on their OS even though it would benefit their users.
- aerique 17y agoI can only understand your comment as if you were saying that being able to use Lotus Notes would be for the user's benefit.
- nailer 17y agoIn 1990 it was.
- borism 17y agoHe meant Android vs iPhone OS. To me it was clear ever since iPhone OS 1.0 that AAPL wants full control of everything the same way it did with early Mac OS, and in my opinion they will repeat the same mistake again and it's going to cost them dearly in the long term.
- Shorel 17y agoYes, that is what I had in mind.
- tvon 17y agoI hear that a lot, and it seems like a very conveniently simplistic look at the Apple/IBM/Microsoft situation in the 80's and 90's.
- biafra 17y agoI am not sure it will cost them long term, but I hope that they are forced by something (maybe Android) to open up.
