I'd say that you can only "wait and see" if those nasty predictions
come true. At the risk of offending the Apple groupies...  I'd also
say that you should never trust Apple. They are corporate entity whose
sole purpose is to make money. Any thing you heard about them being
anything more than that was sales hype.

(Note, there are decent, hard-working, well-meaning people working at
Apple. But, their good intentions mean nothing unless they are in
positions of power. If they feel offended by my remarks, then they
have a lot of growing up to do.)
