    I never thought I'd see the day when there'd be a major desktop OS that's even more closed than Windows. But, here it is. I have the nagging suspicion that Apple is indeed going to turn anything but the MacPro into a larger version of an iPhone, or the equivalent of an XBox. Goodbye Mac, hello Linux.
