I do agree, but I was responding to a general statement about software and using a specific example to illustrate that the point was too broad and ignored larger contexts.

This stems from, perhaps, a lack of this distinction on the mobile vs computer point. I do believe your arguments relation to Apple's computer stuff have a certain . . . blinder-effect, or tunnel vision to them and really only apply to their mobile stuff.
I disagree. When Apple computing products take over the PC market from Windows-based computers, then I'll agree. Until then, the hype continues to outweigh the reality. Again though: not necessarily a bad thing!

Sometimes it's hell being objective here...

EDIT: I do get a kick out of how I make a comment about Apple, and it turns into an argument about me. Come on guys. Make it about the topic, not the person.
