By joining ADC a lot of his problems would be solved. The rest of his argument, this software thing included, just comes across as posturing and petty. I'm sorry, but Apple is really not to blame here. They keep strict controls on their OS and apps for a reason. They don't want things reverse engineered, corrupted and lifted and ported to god knows how many other platforms.
But back to your argument -- so let's call me a "developer". I've never coded for Apple before. I don't join the Apple Developers Connection but I demand free software. In fact, all my life I've worked on a PC so could I be outfitted with a Mac Pro as well?
Free software is a nice perk, but you know what? It's PETTY compared to the big picture. It's petty to think that any other developer (Digi, UA, etc) would raise a stink because they didn't get free software packages.
Ack. Enough of this argument. I'm out, feel free to flame away.
