> what other products with users has Apple acquired and shut down?

Shake was acquired in 2002 and killed 7 years later.




It was wild to see Linux and a Pentium III listed as a supported system on an Apple site in 2004.

Funny how they were selling the Linux version for $2000 more.


OH MY GOD !

I would bet a million bucks that Jobs put that price in because he basically said well if they buy the Linux version we're down one Mac sale from them so charge them our profit margin on a Mac Pro.


To be fair, I think they just left the Linux version at the same price it was when they bought it, but greatly reduced the price of the Mac version.
