I always thought that people on this list had it clear that for them
what you complain is a business model and it certainly did not start
yesterday. From the start those companies are attempting to own users.
Apple started by tying software and hardware; gates by pushing binary
blobs and menacing those who wanted to just share sources.

I guess they now just fell confident enough that their consumers won't
even understand/care if they can guarantee that speed difference isn't
that much (which I think they can on most cases).

Thanx 4 sharing anyway, I'm using info like those to buzz on
applefriends ears.
