Comparing Apple's walled garden to Microsoft's is comparing apples to pears. Not being able to open a .doc on another word processor is different from stopping grandma from opening funnycatpicsnotvirus.app

I like to see things from the benefit to the consumer. Microsoft stagnated the computing world for 10 years by failing to innovate. Apple is suing because (let's face it) competitors are jumping on their gravy train and not deviating from their successful designs.

Yes suing is douchy, but to me it's better than the FUD and EEE.

Microsoft accelerated computing by 30 years by making computer hardware a commodity in the 80s and bringing it to the masses.
