Such a pointless article. Saying that "Apple's closed system is doomed to die" is not the same as saying that Apple is doomed to die. If Apple absolutely refuses to ever adjust to market demands, technology improvements and changes in culture, then they'd be doomed to die. I think Apple has proven they havea damn good track record of showing flexibility when needed. They run a closed system right now because THEY CAN. The consumers are happy with what they provide and we're all greedily gobbling up what they're selling. When the market starts demanding an open system, I'd be willing to bet Apple will be there supporting that.
Why is it your MacBook Pro runs on an Intel chip and can run Windows7 natively now? 10-15 years ago this was unthinkable. The market demanded some level of compatibility and Apple met the demand.
