There is some merit, however, to the argument that iThings have always been locked down (or intended to be, at least), whereas the Windows changes are a regress

There is some merit, however, to the argument that iThings have always been locked down (or intended to be, at least), whereas the Windows changes are a regression.
- ksk 9y agoCould you state what the merit is?
- mattnewton 9y agoNot GP, but one is a breaking change from customer expectations and the other is WAI
- ksk 9y agoGiven the success of Apple, that sounds like Windows is attempting to meet customer expectations. In any case, It seemed to me that the OP was arguing for a pro-lockeddown position, which is why I asked what the merits are.
- mattnewton 9y agoI think gp’s position is that customer expectations of apple and windows platforms are different- that locked-down-ness was something that, when people could deal with it and preferred it, already were not the core windows customers.
