OS purists arguing that tying an OS to any specific hardware will necessarily limit any alternative OS's success seems to be a recurring theme :-)
Here we see the argument applied to Mac OSX / Mac HW. The argument could equally be applied to the A1 / OS4.0 conundrum.
Whats wrong with a "run anywhere" licence based model? Why must it degrade in to a monopoly on proprietary HW?
If HW is not competitive it should become obsolete as the market dictates. It shouldnt use any OS to justify its existence.
Tying an OS to under-developed uncompetitve HW is like tying a concrete weight to an Olympic swimmer.
What do you guys think?
