I will probably put myself under fire for this comment but ...

I couldn't care less about Apple's marketing tactics, I only care about the end product.

Let's face it that's business and Apple aren't the only company "guilty" of trying to lock customers into their own products. Er Amazon with the Kindle? Sony also have been guilty of this with their propriatry music formats in the past.

And speaking as an EX Mac user - I moved back to windows just fine! So Apple didn't manage to "con" me into staying with the Mac. I made my own decision.
