Steve is the one who is bing ingenous here ( and he cals Google out as ingenous).

He mentions Open vs closed and then cites Microsoft as the company people thing as the open - since "it has the largest user base"...and movesd on to compare the Google fragmentation with Microsoft one OS strategy.

Hos is that a discussion of OPEN in either the "Open Source" term (MS is not Open source by any stretch), or even the "OPen Platform" term (MS is not an Open platform either). So he is making ar argumentative comparison with something that doersnt hold true and HE knows it.

When you mention Open and Google talk about either Open Source and Open platform.
If you want to talk about Fragmentation - dont start off with the Open argument because THAT it isnt.
