You don't make money long term if people hate your product, so I'm just hearing blah blah blah blah from you.
Apple is not a monopoly and despite the whole walled garden meme its not that hard to get out if you really want to.
If they're making money, it's people they made the right decision on the product / service side as a whole.
Being entrenched on how to do anything, or a particular niche, is a recipe for disaster.
I'm not sure why you replied. The Mac is just a tool like your toaster. If your toaster doesn't work, you get a different one.
I'm not sure what the talk about being entrenched is all about.
All I hear is "Apple is right about everything.. .blah blah blah" from you.
