>>Nobody promised that OSX could run any software the user wishes. >In fact they have said this publicly in interviews. So I can sue them for not running Apple II programs? Cool! There were always programs that failed to run for some reason or another, and programs taken out of the Mac store, etc. >Apple doesn’t force you to install operating system upgrades, and many people don’t upgrade if it will break the software they work with. Sure, just apply a new rejection policy after an upgrade, and state it applies from that version on. That's what Apple would normally do anyway. So you're just admitting I'm right. |

No, you just don’t know much about Apple.
They haven’t promised to be backward compatible with everything, but they have promised not to stop you from running what you want to run.
I.e. they have promised not to do what you are saying they should do.
> Sure, just apply a new rejection policy after an upgrade, and state it applies from that version on. That's what Apple would normally do anyway.
Apple has never done this.
> So you're just admitting I'm right.
Obviously not. In fact you have proven yourself completely wrong, by acknowledging that they could not do it under their current license and with their current software and would need to get people to agree to a new contract.
Yes, Apple, (or anyone else) could offer a service for the Max that users sign up for to remotely disable software they disapprove of.
But that isn’t what you said.
