1st, what made macs awesome is how well they target multiple platforms. having access to apple, linux and windows user on one device was awesome.
2nd, chrome and firefox will still auto download flash, so really what this does is it makes safari users act like IE users in that they won't have all of the plugins.
it seems that apple is doing this so they rapidly iterate for Mac OS (next) without vendor support. sounds like apple is getting quite before something big in the next OS.
- nikster 16y agoApple is all about rapid iteration. With the iOS, they're moving at lightning speed. Perhaps they want to achieve the same on Mac OS. Steve Jobs has called Java a "ball and a chain" years ago, so this is not too surprising. Strategically, Apple doesn't care about cross-platform technologies because per definition they don't take advantage of platform innovations. See Job's Flash-on-iOS open letter. Nobody say Apple is not consistent in their strategy and vision - in fact, I've never seen such a razor sharp focus in a company that size.
