If you want freedom, stay away from Apple.
It all reminds me of when IE installs would b0rk Netscape installed on Windows...

Microsoft first started that kind of behavior when people were foolish enough to install DrDOS.

Fortunately Microsoft was checked on that and Apple should be as well.

With MS it was through the courts, with Apple it could be the market that eventually spanks them.

The fact is that their software is b0rking privately owned property. If this is by design then it could be described as malicious...

...So until some lawyer sees some class action $$$'s in his future nothing will change. Even then, Like MS they will learn from their mistakes.
They will continue doing what they were doing but they will have learned how not to get caught.

Even a market spanking wont likely happen. They already broke even with a million sold and I'm sure this latest i-thing is on at least 5 million more holiday gift lists.
