This makes me v. happy for these reasons:
1. iTards will feel betrayed (yep, suck it iTards! 😀 heheheh)
2. It is a great business decision for Apple, meaning they may be on MS’s turf and can fight better
3. Even if Apple retains their Hardware Monopoly, cracked versions of their OS will start to become available to home-builders of computers.
4. When Cracked versions become available, linux users (who have the right platform, who have been making linux drivers for x86 architecture) will start hacking away, porting over linux-to-darwin device drivers, growing the base for Apple users
5. Apple has large enough base to stop being a hardware company and start being a software company
6. Apple level competitors with MS == WE WIN.
Yay. Good for Apple.
Why, oh, why to giggle with the thought of fretting iTards? Is it because I am a bad person? heheheheheheh giggle.
