• Unlike Apple where everything is choice choice choice?
  Lets forget about this pointless & ill conceived praise of the music publishing corporations' cash cow: iTunes and instead focus on another point in your rather unusual 'argument'.
  The traditional IBM PC compatible market has always been one of 'it is what you make it'.
  The choice has always been with the end user. So
  to cut a very long but simple story short. The end user chose Windows, as opposed to all the other OS choices there were out there at some time or another.
  Now the last time I looked what OS choices did I have if I wanted to buy an Apple PC - I couldn't even choose Windows if I wanted to. No, it HAD to be Apple's OS - no choice, PERIOD
  At the end of all this it really doesn't matter if Jobs thinks HIS OS is the best.
  It doesn't matter if Gates feels his idea of total Microsoft integration is the only way to be.
  What matters is what the majority of technology consumers chose.
  The alternatives were there all along... and they, the consumer, chose Windows.
