Ummm...can somebody tell me why Apple decided to go against they're
seeming commitment to being more "open" by introducing a protocol
"loosely based" on SNMP but that isn't compatible with it?

Of course, I'm talking about the management protocol Apple plans to
introduce.  It would be dandy if I could manage the Macs and PC from
one place...but now I still need a Mac and PC to see everything.  Bleh.

Additionally, can someone tell me why Apple doesn't make any real
network management software, and why they always rely on third parties
to do their work for them.

C'mon, Apple!  Take some responsibility for your work!
