I understand that and I agree that they should, but my question was regarding the viability for Apple. Yes, Apple should sue them. But I wonder if this company is going to do most of the work of putting themselves out of business before Apple puts any effort and money into suing them out of existence, you know what I mean?

From the looks of it, this is just a crackpot company (and I'm from Miami....I should know! ). They are already claiming that Apple is a monopoly because of their tight integration with their own hardware and software. Personally, I don't see it this way and I don't think the rest of the market does either. Apple is only affecting its users, not affecting ALL computer users in the way that MS does. And from the looks of it, Apple users are mostly content with Apple having control of the hardware and software. If not, then they can easily switch to a PC and continue doing what they want. So I have to wonder if since this company is already doomed to failure, why should Apple bother wasting time litigating when all that might need to be done is a cease and desist letter?
