That's when MS was sued for taking a standard (Java) and implementing it so that Java code written in Windows only worked in Windows (I'm slightly simplifying things but that was the gist of it). All the Apple zealots were furious!!!!

Now when Apple takes a standard and implements it so that video streamed from an Apple server only works on Apple clients, all the Apple zealots cheer!!!! Hurrah!!! Good for Apple!!! Buy an iPad!!! Reward the company for their embrace, extend, and extinguish approach!!!
