From the article, "In contrast, the simplicity of component models, such as EJB, made programming a lot simpler (if less flexible)." That's the funniest thing I've read today; EJB makes programming a lot simpler. Ha! Sure it does...
I'll bite. First, If you thought average Mac users were evangelists, you should talk to Mac developers, because most of them would never go back to any other platform. Second, for your supposition to come to be, thousands of non-geeks would have to pirate the OS, which is not likely because there isn't a real benefit in pirating the OS. Why? For the same reason Macs don't have higher market share: it's the lack of applications. Last, every permutation of outcomes of the Apple Intel switch has been cataloged and written down for the record, therefore let's move on.
Too bad my mod points expired yesterday, or I would mod you up. As a user of almost every OS and major application mentioned on Slashdot, I find your statement spot on. Score: 5 Funny but true.
