Please name one large corporation (except Apple, I suppose), in the world, which runs Mac OS. As to servers, here is what a quick search found for you:

As for the opinion on your obscure blog, so that's the best you can do?
You are still not addressing any of the responses in either piece.

To keep it simple, I'll try a couple of specific quote, which responds to SJ's claim that Flash is 100% proprietary:

"If "open" was the highest priority for Apple, they wouldn't be pushing a proprietary video format, H.264.
If "open" was the highest priority for Apple, there would be Java on the iPad. But, of course, Java breaks the wall of the garden, just like Flash, so it's not allowed.
As to Flash, Steve must certainly be aware of the plethora of open source Flash projects, like MTASC or GNASH.
Take a look at Open Source Flash Projects for a bunch of other open source Flash projects.
But, most importantly, today much of the web employs Flash - whether Jobs likes it, or not. This is the reality we live in
"


Is it true that there are open source Flash projects, or not?

On the other hand, as re either Mac OS, nor iPhone OS is open? Can you find a single open source project for the iPhone OS?


Or as to SJ's claim that the iPad has full web access, what is your argument against this quote:

"Anyone who uses an iPad can't get video from the websites of NFL.com, MLB.com, Petfinder.org, Amazon.com and many other really popular websites. So to say that users aren't missing much video and that almost all of this video is also available in H.264, is wrong and you can't argue with it. I guess Steve does not feel that the NFL and MLB sports leagues command that big of an audience. Use an iPad, go to those sites and see all the video you can't get."

Or while SJ is calling Adobe lazy and blaming them for not rewriting CS to Cocoa until v5, can you tell me why Final Cut, or even iTunes are still in Carbon?

Please limit yourself to answering the actual questions, instead of engaging in personal attacks. Maybe then we'll all learn something.
