Windows is happening all over again before our very eyes, and nobody is doing anything about it.
Maybe that is because Apple is still riding on their accumulated cool factor. Apple is still perceived as the underdog. The little company that thought different and delivered unique products in the face of a humongous IBM Compatible PC onslaught.
Never mind that Apple is neither little nor cool nor unique anymore. It is a controlling behemoth on the "integrated player with music store" market and it is carving out a sizable chunk of the phone market and even Macs are increasingly on the rise.
But as long as Apple delivers that "Ooh shiny" experience they will be forgiven for their Big Brother antics. It is simply not done to criticize the "cool kid".
