So you're pushing expensive closed systems on everyone around you, but you're thanking Google for the "forced motivation"?

And what should he be pushing to the people he has to play IT for? Gentoo?

Honestly? I hate AAPL.. but their stuff. Absolutely their stuff. Push them to Apple and then stop "playing IT" for them.

If you want to live in a more closed proprietary ecosystem, that's your choice. Google is trying to get their users as far away as possible from that kind of closed world.

lol

trying to get their users onto proprietary gmail apps / webmail where they can eventually ramp up the advertising & personal information harvestry

Don't let the proprietary door hit you on the way out.
