Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-know-this-guy-named-steve dept.

InfoWorldMike writes to tell us that InfoWorld's Tom Yager recently had the chance to sit down and chat with Apple about their closing the OS X Kernel. From the article: "The Mac platform is an overflowing basket of raw materials for innovators and creators of all stripes. It's what Steve Jobs would fantasize about if he still worked out of his garage, and you can bet that he'd be livid to find that the vendor locked some portion of his chosen platform behind a gate without a word of notice or explanation."

    Apple will release the kernel code when Vista comes around. They are just so sick of Microsoft copying them they'll wait till vista is out and done...

    I know, it may take some time...

    Whoa there cowboy, slow down... If you read the Slashdot rules and regs you will see that you are way offbase with your comment.

    The fact that the Power PC version is still open and not the Intel makes me wonder if Apple is hoping to keep non-intel OSX freaks at bay a little while longer.

    And by "at-bay" I mean several hundred feet below the Golden Gate Bridge...
