I really hate this comparison with iPhones et al.

We should just accept having our devices locked down and no longer having control over what software they run, just because some big companies are already doing it to us? Since Apple and various Android manufacturers do it, we should just give up on general-purpose computing and enter the world of ubiquitous code signing controls and curation?

I say no. MS is bad for doing this. So are Apple and the various Android manufacturers who do it.



Full agree. That's what I should've said.
