People loved the old Mac, then Apple got complacent. Mac users switched to PC, and Apple nearly went bust. It was only by killing the Mac and replacing it with the iMac that the company was saved. If they continue to refuse to ship their products with the software that people have come to accept as standard, they will soon have to kill the iPad, and come up with a new revolutionary product to replace it. And they may not be as lucky the next time round.
Elsewhere there is a thread about the new Planet Of The Apes film, Apple should look to the orignal, or soon someone at Apple is going to be re-enacting the ending of that film - kneeling on the ground screaming "You bastards, you had it all and you threw it all away."
