> It merely provides more freedom to users. Users already have freedom and apple has a minority market share in europe already. > If this truly forces unprofitable behavior, we should expect Apple to pull out out Europe. But I would bet my life that doesn't happen. Less profit does not mean no profit. You essentially expect companies who can't compete because of rules made to prevent them from competing to pull out? Instead of users not buying their product forcing them out? I hope america never catches that nanny state disease. The one good european phone maker nokia lost because users stopped liking it. Now all Europe does is try to profit by unfair laws. Don't europeans who like apple products deserve to use them as apple designed? It is absolutley deranged to think that forcing design choices on a company gives users choices. As if their wallet isn't good enough to vote with or there aren't alternatives.
