but apple's contempt for its own customers prods them to insist on them running macintosh native applications.
the nerve of them.
while they are at it they should open up their platform so that i can run other software too. why can't i run my old commodore 64 programs natively? or my apple ][ basic programs? Apple acts like they designed the Macintosh after all, and I made the decision to spend my money on their hardware, what gives them any right to control what runs on it? i want options!
oh wait..

You've argued against your own point.
You
can get applications for the Mac to let you run windows programs, even though they will run slower than native ones. Apple
doesn't force you to run native applications.
You
cannot get an application for the iPad that will let you view flash sites.
That is the difference.
(And I'm sure there are commodore 64 and Apple II emulators for the Mac)
