[QUOTE="iPear, post: 1131104, member: 176820"] Lion will be a disaster. It will be Apple's Vista. I have no doubts about it. I watched the last keynote. I see where they are going... Steve Jobs is trying to put his hands on all apps for mac. He wants to monopolize all mac apps like he did in iphone, ipad, and ipod. Developers will need to pay 30% to Apple of every app sold via mac apps store. So you see where it is going.. maybe not in Lion but in next version after Lion our macs will behave like ipods. you wont be able to install anything that is not approved by Apple. The greed will kill this company. I wonder if Microsoft would sell Office via mac store and pay 30% to Apple LOL. If Microsoft wants to kill Apple they can do it easily. Just stop developing Office for mac, many people just won't buy mac because of that. I'm afraid that Steve Balmer has no guts to do it though lol. They must have some kind of agreement, I bet Apple is paying a lot of cash to Microsoft just to develop Office for mac. they did that before when mac os didn't have own internet browser, they paid Microsoft to develop internet explorer for mac and it was [B]official[/B] browser for macs for a while till they figure out how to make browsers lol. And they dare to say Microsoft is always copy them? But guys at Redmond dont want to kill it because there is no point. Macs have only 20% market share and only because now you can run windows on macs. they just laughing on their way to the bank. So even if mac's share grows more , Microsoft is making money out of it. Remember it's a software company, they don't really care about hardware they can make software for any machine. [/QUOTE]
