To Anonymous, People complain they are locked into MS products because MS products are generally inferior to others around.

Apple has locked me into iPod and iTMS - do I complain? No, because it's the best (and cheapest) music store and player around. There is a big difference!

MS complained when AOL locked them out of AIM - because they wanted to take competitive advantage over AOL - AOL cleverly didn't let them. MS complained. AOL is still the biggest in IM.

It's called business, and apparently, Apple are getting good at it! Let's hope though that they allow other music stores in to iPod, that way, iPods will increase in sales and generate some more profit for Apple!!
