I think the worst thing about Apple is the lack of transparency. I haven't checked for some time, but if you file a bug that's already been reported they just close it. You don't get to see other people's bugs so you just get to wait. And there's nothing quite as frustrating as finding a WebKit bug, finding out it's already been discovered but the only real information in their tracker is a message for Apple employees about where the buf can be found in the internal Apple bug tracker.

As far as I know the only restriction they loosened was the number of VMs you could run on Apple hardware. OS X server hasn't been an actual version of their OS for a while, it's just an app in their store now.

That said, I would be thrilled to be proven wrong about this.

To be fair you used to post some really antagonistic and trollish comments. Maybe you still do. You're not exactly well known for your agreeable and altruistic behavior.
