Apple is about to be left in the ice cold winter of the snow leopard with its new tactics of taking on Adobe. Google and Canonical are already developing flash based tools and developer kits and ignoring Apple or any new video format it may want to float on a large scale (SVG for instance). Adobe seeks to launch flash in the HTML5 era and Apple is competing hard to beat it. Apple's closed door policy is not going to work given the Unix revolution having become more competitive with Google and Canonical gunning for the original Unix cousin called Macintosh OS.
Besides, I wonder why are the FTC and the EU Commission not taking cognizance of Apple's behavior!!!

- Mac OS X series (and successors) is the one which has a Unix (POSIX to be precise) like shell.
- Talking of FTC and EU taking cognizance, they finally caved in to Oracle's merger with Sun which in my opinion gives Oracle an unfair advantage due to Sun's h/w business and the Java platform that has sort of been one of the torch bearers of the open source movement amongst other things.
- In principle, I would like to know which software on my PC is being updated - no matter how critical the update! An update without my knowledge or permission is intrusion!
- While Microsoft is the butt of all jokes about being the "big bad bully" I earnestly do not think any of the big guys (read Google) are truly benevolent. What with Google desktop accused of sending private data back to Google from end user PCs!
