Meh, I am happy enough to get better hardware support for my OS of choice, rising or not...
After all I am just an average user, not some hard seller for Open Source.
Dude it has nothing to do with UI. Apple has made a slick UI for Java on the Mac, it can be done.
It is about the SDK. Apple wants to be in control of what gets to run on the iPhone, hence why the App Store with Apple approval and all that, isn't that what this article is all about to begin with anyway?!?!?
If JVM is implemented on the iPhone then what? It means there will be software that Apple cannot control, the iPhone SDK is suppose to restrict what can be distributed, sort of like DRM... do you really think they will allow something to be made to break their "DRM" with using a tool Apple themselves provided in the first place?
Let's forget the shop, no shop in existence that will try to stop you from taking your can of coke outside.
A restaurant on the other hand don't usually give you a can of coke, they'd pour it into a glass which you don't usually get to take home, and most people would drink it there because of it - they wrap up the content (coke/music) in a container (can/glass), some are understood to take be take away (can/drm-free format) some are understood to be not part of the product (glass/fairplay container)...
The customer have every right to take aways the content regardless of the container used first. Eventually it end up inside the customer who walks away anyway... there are usually no charge for pouring the glass of coke back into a paper cup or something, but the restaurant may not choose to provide it...

Hmmm maybe it is just more confusing now!
Ok what's with this there is "ONE FBSD" mentality? I can effectively do the same thing by only using Ubuntu and say there is only ONE UBUNTU.
