Microsoft would never get away with this kind of crap (ok, Genuine advantage lets them "kill" stolen MS apps), but with all the fuss over Microsoft giving Internet Explorer with Windows, just imagine if they were the gatekeeper and arbiter of what could and could not be run on their systems.

It's time a long, hard look was taken at Apple's gatekeeping dictatorship.
