“It sounds like you’re learning how to become a good socialist, with your socialist ideas... LOL...”
You do know the legal definition of a contract, right?
I find it fascinating the things that Apple fans will excuse for Apple, but accuse Microsoft.
Requiring OEMs to bundle IE with Windows is different from requiring bundled Apple hardware with OS X how?

I see you're still mixed up on the facts and information, which probably contributes to your socialist ideas... :-)
First Apple is a hardware company, not a software company, and that's by what they explain of themselves, so it's not just me saying that. They're in the hardware business.
And they make the specific software to support their own hardware -- that hardware being the primary focus and business of the company.
NOW, maybe you're not familiar with "business" -- but it really does not make any business sense at all for Apple to make software to give away to their competitors to use on their hardware (i.e., the competitor's hardware)... LOL... that's a "laugh a minute" if you're thinking you're using some kind of "business acumen"... :-)
But, leave it up to a socialist to think this and that a company should let other companies use it's own support software on the competitor's hardware -- that support software which was made specifically to support Apple's business.
Yep, that's a socialist idea all right.
It's sure a good thing you've not running Apple...
Where is the third party OEM in the Apple equation? Microsoft was requiring 3rd parties to not only bundle Internet Explorer with their computers but was also threatening to cut them off from being able to purchase Microsoft's OPERATING SYSTEM, a requirement of the 3rd party's survival as a business, if they did not bundle IE with their computer, using Microsoft's overwhelming monopolistic position as a club to force them into accepting an unwanted product. That's a big difference.
Apple sells SYSTEMS... not bare computers. You cannot buy an Apple computer without an OS.
