> I should expect to be able to run Windows on my coffee maker? Yes, of course. To satisfy your pedantry: You should be able to put whatever software you want on your personal property and expect the device to boot it rather than refusing because it isn't signed by the powers that be. It's about freedom, not omnipotence. > That's a bit of an exaggeration of course, but I do not think this is an important "need". You do not get to decide what's important to other people. If you don't want care about running custom software, just don't do it. > You can already buy an Android device if you want more flexibility If Apple's lock in tactics didn't work. Also it means you have to choose between the things that made you go with Apple to begin with and freedom – even though you could easily have both if not for Apple's artificial restrictions.
