I will not say I don't feel for Apple. However, I believe this is a relatively minor and, at this point, quite well understood cost that Apple must support. Users, and I mean end users, want features like multitasking on OS9, and a lot of progress was being made in the world because it existed. Allowing companies like Apple to hold back potential markets because it is inconvenient to them is the kind of thing that should be frowned upon (and luckily it is: that's the kind of argument that must be made to get the explicit DMCA exemption that we managed to win).
