Bittersweet medicine

John Gruber:

For Apple to heed Thurrott’s suggestion that they license Windows Media DRM from Microsoft would require Apple to forget that if you depend on Microsoft for something, Microsoft won’t hesitate to abuse you with that dependency if it later suits them. Apple’s delayed support for iTunes on Windows Vista is giving Microsoft a sweet taste of their own medicine. (Sweet for the rest of us, at least.)

(Emphasis mine.)

Do not meddle in the affairs of Coding Ninjas, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
