Remember a month ago, when I urged the open source developers to take on this software and develop something equivelant and multi-platform? It seems that the only people who actually got interested in my $100 USD offer... was Apple.

You can't have it both ways. Linux developers want to be free to copy Windows and MacOS ideas, and the big guys should be just as free to copy others' ideas. Unless these guys have a patent or something (a whole other discussion), Apple doesn't "owe" them anything.
Does Opera owe Netscape for the idea of a web browser? How about iCab, OmniWeb, or others? VW had a hit with the retro New Beetle idea - does Chrystler owe them for the PT Cruiser?
It sounds like a cool idea, but it's just an idea. Apple can roll there own if they want to. It's not "nice" to their third-party developers, but everyboy "steals" ideas from everybody else, get over it.
Karelia should take their lead and devlop a better product than Apple. If they want revenge, port it to Windows to give people less of a reason to switch.
