"Identifying and realizing "the easy way to quality" is impressive."
Except they aren't doing that. For 3 version multitasking was bad, and they told you why multitasking wasn't needed. Now, apparently, it's good.
As for others not being able to duplicate it, that's not true. Apple isn't the only place to find easy to us. Heck, half their stuff isn't easy to use. It's just as difficult and confusing as PC stuff. It just appears easier/cleaner. They have less wires. Just one look at iTunes and syncing Audiobooks with your iPod is a perfect example of how they dropped the ball.
That's the holy grail of your industrial & operations type.
It's like you're deriding an app for being written in Python instead of C. The easy way is the smart way!
