Quite right. Apple codes in its own universe. By making his own rules, Stevie boy is able to embellish all that comes out of the house of Apple. But consider this analogy. Car Maker X builds a beautiful, dream sports car. But it can only be driven on perfectly flat roads on sunny days. But the world is filled with bumpy roads and rain, snow and ice. The blind mice at Apple can't deal with this. The world does not conform to their vision. Tsk, tsk.
We can squabble all we want on this board. But Jobs attacks on Adobe are completely unprofessional, and to put it mildly, childish. Read this article from Business Week:

Jobs' letter harms the reputation of Flash, said Hayes Roth, chief marketing officer for Landor Associates, a branding and design firm. "There's unquestionably damage to the brand—whether it's permanent damage is the question," he says. "This letter is now seen by untold millions around the world, who've been told—chapter and verse—what's superior about the technology that goes into Apple's products."
Flash is installed on about 98% of PCs connected to the Internet, according to Adobe. Flash also runs on more than 800 million mobile phones, manufactured by 19 of the top 20 handset makers—all except Apple.
