"It saddens me to say that Aperture's innovations are only skin deep. If it could deliver on the promise of being both fast and produce flawless results, it would be the dream package. At this point it is an expensive and questionable alternative to Camera Raw, a free extension to Photoshop, and Adobe's Bridge which can batch produce better quality images in arguably less time. For $500 [EUR 425] (Photoshop itself retails for $750 [EUR 636]), there is no excuse not to be aware of professional needs like a high-quality sharpen tool, DNG exporting or more basic things like curves, a sampler tool for RGB pixel readings, or retention of EXIF data on output."

Remember, its a hardware company. Its trying to sell its own hardware, that's what motivates it.
And remember also, it will lock in everything that it can. It always has. Remember the proprietary digital interfaces to screens, and before that the proprietary analogue ones. It will lock in the software to the extent that it can, also.
Why, given this, is anyone surprised by a proprietary storage method to promote lockin, and extreme hardware requirements to promote hardware sales?
