LOL. I'm not going to disagree.

I will say something potentially provocative, though: I have a particular interest in a certain app that needs to run on multiple versions of Windows. VFP is the tool of choice and it has delivered flawlessly for 2 years. A parallel app written using, er, an alternative tool with major vendor support and regular staged minion orgasms isn't complete yet, and when pilots are deployed it is a complete PITA. At least you know where you stand with Apple and when you use the tools they decree on their devices, you aren't left feeling exasperated and resentful. And on that note, I say goodnight, sir!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
