    I think the "fees" make following the rules something that they will actually do. Most of the rich little shits I know that go to charter schools just wave their money around and do what they please. Getting sent to the principal means nothing to them, getting their checkbook sent means a whole lot.

    Im aware of that, but people seem to think that comparing OSX to Andoid to justify restrictiveness and cry foul because Android isnt criticised for doing the same thing is a valid point. I explain that Android isnt viewed as bad because the other option is iOS that is far more restrictive. The comparison to OSX is either Windows, or Linux, both of which lack any software signing requirement. Therefore by comparison, it is restrictive.

    There was no error, people are trying to say that this feature isnt an increase of restrictions on the personal computer by saying a cellphone does the same thing. It isnt a valid comparison.

    Why dont people call Android a "walled garden"? Because it isnt iOS, that limits you to only whats "approved" for the app store, which Apple has demonstrated in the past can and will be limited by thier own tech politics.

    Apps are banned simply because they improve upon features that are allready on the OS and make Apple look bad. camera improving apps, apps that let you exchange files via bluetooth (like every other phone on the market), apps that improve upon the built in claendar, even apps that just simply put icons on the home screen to see if you have a text or not are all on the banned list. With the new OS "blurring the lines between OSX and iOS" it isnt far fetched to wonder if they will eventually make both the same OS and kill the "let me get what I want" feature entirely.

    Then by that argument I should be singing the praises about how I have to do litterally nothing to get whatever I want on my Windows machine, while you cannot do anything without Apple's permission on an iOS device.

    Comparing a personal computer OS to a cellphone OS is asanine by default, as you have always been able to do what you want on a personal computer, reguardless of OS while on a cellphone, just asking you first before letting you do what you want was radical thinking when Android dropped as before It was only "do what we tell you or else".

    Limiting my freedom in any form on a personal computer is a step in the wrong direction, no matter who does it. This process is going in the exact opposite direction of mobile OS's, they become more free, while home computer OS become more restrictive, and I fear its only a matter of time before iOS and OSX become the same thing, and limit you to whatever Apple deems worthy and nothing more.

    Ehh, 3.1 was more of an application than an operating system, as your pc booted into DOS and you had to start windows manually, and could actually do most of what you needed without it. Anything after 95 ill give you as just being update packs, but 3.1 and 95 were both actually new things IMO.

    The point I was making is the fact that Windows 8 has been on open beta for about a year, in the hands of real users, and we are just now hearing about the new Mac Os, but no, Mac did it first.
