Basically, Jobs/Apple pioneered computing as a prison. Micro$hit is now trying to emulate them. Stallman was right about being glad that Jobs was gone.

(*)- a long time ago, I worked for a 10-person controls engineering company that used quite a bit of custom laptop software. The kind of thing that would have worked beautifully on a Windows tablet, actually. But with Microsoft's rules, they would have either have to have got reamed to the tune of $300 for 10 licenses per device, used a crack, or abused a "developer" license. I suppose they could have split a sideloading pack with several other small businesses as well, but why make things so complicated?
