You can get away with not updating your iPhone, but not your OS.
You end up missing out on features & stability.
Plus, its hard to establish a business and tell your customers you can't update.
And Apple can even throw in the lock with Quicktime and iTunes. |
I see this as the beginning of the end...
The open source world, much like mother nature has a way of correcting things. Chances are that you will get a whole bunch of people behind Psystar, and you will start to see open source repositories for OSX patches.
Apple has rubbed a lot of open source people and security people the wrong way, and it might just be enough to start the open apple revolution.
The patch upgrade mechanism is already there - fink. You will just need to add some open source repositories for patches, and that will be it. Apple has opened a lot of its source code up for developers etc who agree to the licensing.
Apple - Open Source
