There's nothing like total control of the customer, especially if you
can convince them of how much better off they are. Jobs must have finally
gotten around to reading ideas from the automotive industry of the 50s. I
wonder if he'll read where that led or if he'll just act shocked when it
goes south? My guess is that he'll do what his self-destructive streak
always leads him to do and just talk about how no one other than himself and
a few others really understand the product.

This is all funny as hell to see as the Applevolk are the first to spew
hatred at MS for a far lower level of control over the customer.
