Same goes for hardware. Steve Wozniak wanted to build Apple computers that a hacker could love with built-in expansion bays, the ability to add RAM, change out processors, etc. Woz wanted them to be easily modified. Steve Jobs wanted the opposite. He wanted limited access to the hardware. Unfortunately Jobs won out. There was one great era of Macs in the 1990s when Jobs was forced out of Apple and Apple licensed the right to build Mac clones to several companies. I lived in Austin, TX at the time and we had three competing companies that were building AWESOME Mac clones that would make Woz happy. Plenty of expansion capabilities and they were selling for a lot less than the ho-hum Apple Macs. But Apple lost its way, got confused on OS, had way too many lines of computers and none were that great or sold that well, so they brought back Jobs. As soon as Jobs regained control of Apple he cancelled the clone licensing. He certainly improved Apple, but I do miss the era of the "clone wars"!
