> This is great news! We need to ensure maximum interoperability and no differentiation across different computing platforms and applications. I don't get your point here. Apple's products are differentiated from others because of their excellent integration with other Apple products (the ecosystem(tm)). If they are compelled to also open that up to third-parties, what exactly are they losing? Put a different way, are you implying people buy iDevices not only because they integrate so well with Apple's other products, but because they know other devices aren't able to? > And politicians are, of course, the most knowledgeable about these things. This doesn't make sense either. Just because you disagree with others' ideology doesn't mean they don't know anything about the subject matter. Why isn't it possible, in your view, for the relevant decision-makers in this case to know everything needed and still choose to make those decisions?
