Greed is not really the issue. Apple runs under the paradigm "Couple the hardware with the software". With software built around consistent hardware, you get a more reliable system, it's easier to support, and a better experience overall. IBM started it in the 50s, and it worked well. Oracle bought sun for this reason. Game consoles over the years are another good example.
Also on the IOS features on OS X, I too was worried about that. After using lion, I can say that they only moved features over that made sense so it's not a ploy to make the OS like an iPad in order to sell more.
and they've done a damn good job because I can't use a mouse anymore![]()
Wow you're like every company's ideal customer. I mean, they're screwing you over here and you think its a good thing!
