It's not really an issue of if you can get away with it. It just betrays the fundamental attitude that Jobs has shown since first introducing the Macintosh. He appears to firmly believe in a closed, tightly controlled platform. I wonder how the world would be different if Woz had taken over and Jobs had wandered off to do something else. And stayed there I mean. Who am I kidding. People would probably be fighting each other for NeXT machines instead of Apple boxes.
