Q: craig c. wrote miles wrote apples hardware most certainly is closed. hogwash. if the hardware was closed and proprietary as you claim linux and windows would not be able to run on the system natively. apples use to be a closed system. not anymore. say what you have no clue what closed or proprietary mean. there have been 3rd party software developers for apple computers since the days of the apple ii+. every apple since has been 100% proprietary. with the apple ii+ there were some clones such as the franklin but apple sued their ass and won...why because apple computers have always been 100% closed hardware. nobody can clone an apple legally without paying apple royalties. .
