Then you haven't read your history either. Apple's past try at licensing the OS was a HUGE failure. They only started on the road to their current financial success and their huge marketshare increases after they stopped the licensing.

Once you don't succeed try, try again... dang... Apple is just a bunch of quitters?

Try this: Hit yourself in the head with a hammer. Did it feel good? No? Well, try again and maybe it'll feel good the next time. You say you're not going to do it again because it hurt? What are you, a quitter?

Um, Apple has tried it twice. If you include NeXT's efforts, three times.

Each time they got screwed and almost died.

I wouldn't try again either.
