If I buy a device, I want to be able to install whatever I want. After all I just dropped 1.5k for a machine.
Ok, I will admit that even I am split personality, as I have bought a Kindle and that is pretty locked down as well. But Apples constant striving for the worse is really pissing me off.
Started with their shit support and the encouraged upgrade for apple care, but the appification is the WORST. THE WORST.
They even try to lock down which programming languages you can use. WTF????
And unlike other major players they don't seem to give a whole lot back to the Community in terms of Open Source.
Compare that to Google that have open sourced so much stuff I can't even make a list.
I am working in IT, I buy a new machine every year or so, it'll usually be top of the range stuff, and apple are just not getting my money anymore.
