After the WWDC announcement I've come to the realization that OS X is probably in its final stage as we have it right now... OS X is an open platform... anyone can do anything with it... iPhone OS is closed and Apple controls it.
Apple has never really focused on enterprise... the closest thing to enterprise was creative people, and I am going to bet after the iPhone OS 4 and Flash fiasco that Adobe will pull their CS Suite of apps from OS X. Adobe did it once before, they may do it again... and if that happens, Microsoft may decide to pull Office.
It's interesting looking at the 1984 commercial and how Apple has changed from "be free and different" to, "only if we want it will you have it."
Could Microsoft become more open than OS X? Or, will Google be the one who takes over?
Apple is now a media company more than anything else... selling media (music, videos, apps)... they make great hardware but I think the days of OS X are coming to an end... which really sucks because OS X is the best OS out there... it's the stability and reliability of Unix/Linux with a perfect interface.
At least OS X is good enough in it's current state to survive a few more years before we have to move off of it....
Thanks for the fun ride Apple, it was great!
