So why should a student with an Apple product be punished for hostile moves Apple has made? What if the school issued the device the student took the test on? You're punishing the wrong party here.

And knowing that these big companies do stupid stuff around standards is part of building software. This isn't any different from the browser wars. It's completely unrealistic to expect developers to not have to deal with these kinds of issues.

I think the anger around Apple's hostility towards standards is valid, but completely out of scope for this kind of issue.

> Sorry, Apple buyers, but you've purchased a device that flaunts standards, and you must expect it to cause problems.

Sounds like you're putting blame on the students in this situation.

Editing your comments simply because you were shown your mistakes is ridiculous. Own up to your mistakes please.
