You are talking to a man who has worked 25 years in ERP software and who has a Master’s degree in Management Information Systems. I know what I am talking about. I have also worked on major projects at both Apple and Microsoft. You are spouting off about deliberate software-induced obsolescence like it is a good thing. All I am saying is that if Apple refuses to update its hardware’s OS then they should be required to unlock the hardware and let the market determine if there is a market for third-party OS and Apps to fill the demand.
No. For a thousand reasons, no.
If you think government should be able to tell a company (or anyone) what they can/should produce, or do with their products, then there's nothing I can do to help you.
Except to suggest you head over to Democratic Underground; the Bernie Sanders and their ilk are waiting with open arms.
