Microsoft got sued for having internet explorer in their OS.
but what did Microsoft do wrong? back then internet explorer was the only browser, and you can freely get any other browser anyways. I admit internet explorer is a crapy browser, but what reason is there for a company being forced to promote products from rival companies?
Now look at apple:
Purposely blocking flash, ok maybe flash would have some problems.
So adobe wrote a new program that converts flash code into iPhone code.
Now apple blocks that also, clearly shutting out the rival and make the rival waste so much money to make a product that apple won't allow them to use.
All apple apps must be approved by apple while all desktop programs are not approved by microsoft.
Just why?
