Winterlight,
Please enjoy spending your $$ as you get 'lead' to the trough. That is
what I
read in your 'Jobs' reference. Did I miss something?
I still own nothing 'Apple' in my home. I live very happily without the
label.
Can you expand?

Well, Henry Ford was once asked if he did marketing research before
coming out with his products. He replied that if he had asked people
what they wanted in a car they would of said a faster horse.
Jobs used to like to point out that the consumer doesn't really know
what they want until they show them what they want, and I think that
is true. For the record I don't own, nor have I ever used any Apple
products.

and telling people what they should want and then giving that to
them (which is not a flaw of just Apple, most large companies do
this). Of course people think they want to live in a closed source,
walled garden - they've been sold that line by Apple. These are the
same people who buy Budwiser thinking it's a great beer.

Nonsense. it is giving "people", as in those how buy stuff from
Apple, exactly what they want. Were it not, people would not buy.
You can't force people to buy stuff just by marketing...they have to
want what you have to sell. And the closed walled garden must not be
so bad, since people are willing to go there. Just because you don't
like it, doesn't make all those people idiots. Those who want a
piece of the pie are free to market and offer whatever products they
wish. But why aren't they doing so?
