“You are buying all your software from Apple written specifically for Apple and priced by Apple.”
False.
I have been using macs everyday since 2008. In that time I have purchased 1 program from Apple: Logic Pro. I still use it along with software I purchased from scores of other companies like Toontrack, Native Instruments, Slate Digital, Avid, Steinburg, Waves & many others.
JustAnotherOkie claims that Trim, a third-party software app sold by some third-party vendor was necessary to control third-party vendor SSDs yet he also in the same thread claims that ALL software for Macs is sold by Apple and priced by Apple. He wants it to be both ways. One of his claims is a lie or perhaps both are lies. They can't both be true. Apple has never endorsed the use of TRIM on its hardware and in fact advised against it, yet he claims, since it is software and runs on Macs, it must therefor be sold and priced by Apple. Say What?
