Are you not at the mercy of whoever you buy from?
Does the computer manufacturer you bought from build it to your specifications? Does Bill Gates consult you when Microsoft designs their operating systems and other programs.

Of course, at least to some extent. This is why one wants to patronize ethical companies and do one's part to shame other companies so they will reform, or failing that, drive them from the marketplace.

Customer service means everything. Apple seems to be of the mindset that they can and will do what ever they want. Hence no Flac support, no Flash support and from what ChannelD 'PureMusic' says that "Apple removed the ability to send audio in nonmixable integer stream mode in OS X 10.7."
Apples iTunes is horrible and only serves to market its products.

I never understood the whining about FLAC since files formats are easily converted.
Flash isn't dead but it is dying and will soon be a thing of the past. Looks like they were ahead of the curve on that one but I do admit it irritates me I can't view some web sites on my iPad.
iTunes is a very powerful database that works wonderfully for managing a music library.. and it is free. Yes, they use it as a front to sell things... so what?
You are correct about integer support but from what PM also tells us it really isn't needed. My DAC doesn't support it in any version of OSx and sounds great so I could care less about it.
Apple's customer service is actually very good. I've gotten very good free phone support and you can get free support at one of their stores. They do charge for phone support after some period of time but that is not unusual.
