And this is what got us into the whole mess.  People always think they
have built the perfect island and that everyone will be content to live
on the island forever.

As long as you want to do what the Ghost of Steve Jobs thinks will
maximize shareholder value, Apple products will work wonderfully.  But
don't try to do something creative or a ship loaded with dogs, rats,
pigs, and cockroaches will run aground and destroy all the wonderful
things, leaving you on a screwed-up island in the middle of an ocean.

I wouldn't even mind except that the cost of Apple's perverse incentives
creating a hostile environment for this enterprising user base is
largely borne by the developers of well-behaving portable software that
end up supporting those poor saps.
