Good though Ian. If Apple wanted to use WO as a means of pushing some
hardware sales,
wouldn't they probably market it? At least a little bit?

I can think of a good reason why Apple won't open source WO.
Apple is not driven by software, it makes it's money on the hardware.
The
software is there to encourage hardware sales. This is why WO dropped
from
a $50k price tag down to $700.
Yes, there is a windows version, but it hasn't seen any tool updates
for
more than 3 years. I'm guessing they're making the Windows experience
so
poor and antiquated that people will consider buying a Mac just to
continue
development. (then along came Eclise and WOLips which throw a wrench
into
this plan...)

List:
I am a bit disappointed by the lack of actual good concrete feedback
or debate to the ideas I posted yesterday.
So far PA had the best response of anyone. It may have been cynical,
but reading back through past posts on the
same topic, perhaps that cynicism was warranted. I should have done my
homework on the topic, perhaps I was
a bit naive.
If anyone does have anything constructive (positive or negative) about
the idea, I would love to hear your ideas.
If not, if we have beaten this horse to death, I apologize for wasting
everyone's time.
