I just found it funny that people have complained for years about the 
proprietary Windows environment and how evil M$ is for locking in 
customers into their system. Meanwhile, the oh so cool competitors seem 
to get away with even stronger lock-in tactics (e.g. iTunes/iPod, now 
the iPhone, not to mention their hardware for as long as they existed).

Double standards. The world is full of them.
