What nonsense is this? Apple included other browsers with equal billing until MS decided to quit developing IE for Mac. There are zero blocks or other hindrances to a long list of browsers from operating freely on OS X. This isn't the case when MS was hammered for predatory practices that actually built in FORCED use of IE - it was made inseparable from the OS, and blocks were actually placed within Windows that prevented other browsers from fully functioning.
If there is some other "forced buying of their software", then PLEASE point it out.
And Apple’s software isn’t exceedingly protective? As a matter of fact Apple Corp likes it that way so they can charge more for it. And that isn’t predatory?
They created a mystique about a product through superior public relations, get enough people to buy into it, then price gouge them.
