Apple taking over is a hypothetical state in which you could argue the bug is fixed. I don't see anything in the actual state of things which allows that argument.
Vagueness is a continuum, not an absolute. The bug could be less vague, sure. I don't think it needs to be less vague in order to evaluate it right now, though.
- mikeash 13y agoThe vagueness which applies to the actual situation today is: did they really mean desktop PCs only, or did they mean consumer computing, with desktop PCs being the only pertinent example of it in 2004? And, did they mean no proprietary software on a majority, or just no MS software? Because right now, MS does not have a majority in consumer computing, but the majority is no longer desktop PCs, and the majority still ships with plenty of proprietary software. It's not possible to know whether or not this fits with the intent of the bug, because it's not sufficiently clear.
