If they designed it right in the first place, they couldn’t claim that being a monopoly helps innovation.

I don’t understand why people can praise the iPhone and OSX for its speed, stability, and optimization (notice how I do not say intuitiveness or functionality, they are very streamline and I think they are very easy to use) and then turn around and bash Microsoft Windows and Windows Mobile for not being as optimized or stable. They aren’t competing on the same level.
Apple makes the ONLY phone that uses the mobile version of OSX and the ONLY computers that us OSX. Gee I wonder why it runs so well.
Meanwhile, Microsoft makes operating systems and lets the phone and computer manufacturers make the products. The OS is not optimized for each individual phone or computer. There is no way it could be possible to optimize the operating system for every combination.
Manufacturers are the ones to blame for this. If it runs slow, then a faster processor or more RAM is probably needed. Microsoft is not the one who puts the RAM in the machines, its the manufacturers. Manufacturers cut corners, that’s why you can get WinMo phones for free after rebates.
Until Apple lets other manufacturers use their operating systems to make their own phones and/or computers, it’s not a fair comparison.
The same goes for RIM and Blackberry phones.
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, I am not bashing Apple or RIM, they make great products. I’m only saying they are the only ones that they allow to make them, that’s why they work so well.
