Yeah, this just seemed too ridiculous to be true. Jobs is, if nothing else, a brilliant businessman. Though I entirely disagree with it, it makes perfect business sense to make new platforms such as the iPhone/iPad into walled gardens. As long as the users do not jump ship to other platforms and hit Apple's mobile revenue, they have no real incentive to change the mobile development model. Not so in the Mac ecosystem. It would be suicide to force the inhabitants of the jungle, who are all quite comfortable and productive as is, into cages in a zoo. If it were ever to happen, I would most certainly bail on Mac, and go back to Linux, or maybe even Cygwin.
