No Antitrust

Mr. Copro Encephalic to You 26th May 2009

How is this an antitrust violation? Is Ford violating antitrust when it uses it's own software to run the diagnostic on-board computer? Is Motorola violating antitrust laws when only its OS runs on its mobile phones? Is ADT violating antitrust laws for only permitting systems that interface with its call centers? I don't think so. The market is the personal computer market, not the Apple market. I don't like what Apple is doing for other reasons, and then only because it sells the OS separately from its hardware (see my other reply). If it never did that, it would not have to restrict the hardware in the EULA, after all, in order to get MacOS you would have to buy a mac, making clones impossible. Silly apple - just don't sell the MacOS. You can even still sell upgrades!!! Silly silly Apple.
