There's no need to make up some wild conspiracy theories with Windows here, spend a single Google search before going into this direction next time.
I have seen significant changes in the policies established only just weeks ago that should enable Qualcomm to better participate in developer communities. There's a clear message from the CEO and several VPs that these changes are necessary.
Forgive me the snark, but I'll believe it when I see it. The last years didn't inspire me with confidence.
The problem is, at the core, that this sort of behavior used to be the norm in the industry. Working with embedded systems is pure and utter hell. The open documentation and standardized interfaces one got with Intel/AMD is the complete exception.
Indeed, it will be hard to change the minds of all the folks at Qualcomm who have operated here for years under the status quo. I see new leverage for those who have lobbied for change in the past.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
Qualcomm let Apple steal it.
