You jumped in into a question asked to someone else, I won't go into a pie throwing contest over an insignificant detail you care to win about, I don't have the grey text.

"Pretty outrageous" is good enough for me, if Microsoft tried to start charging for access to Win32 it would not succeed in any way, legal or with customers (it would be abusing market power), but because Apple has a strong hold on their users already they're supposed to just fall over and be fucked by fees that completely ruin any kind of "not very monetizeable" app because of their made up business rules? Markets are regulated everywhere, why should Apple be treated differently because they started from a different position?

You can spare me the reply
