"This probably isn't that controversial"
No no, trying to take 75% of someone else's revenue isn't bad at all. Now if it was say... less than a third that would be purest evil. /s
This illustrates one of my two main points about the Apple bashers either
(a) that whenever people discuss Apple there's a vocal minority for whom all logic seems to fly out the window and it becomes opposites day or
(b) Apple is held to a different standard than others, e.g. it's okay for Canonical to throw their weight around and take a massive slice of someone else's pie, but if Apple tries to take a small slice of a pie everyone screams blue murder.

@Linux fans: sorry to post in your thread yo, but some of your guys were trolling in the Apple bashing threads recently (and getting mighty fine karma for doing so) so turn about is fair play.
Canonical wants to take 75% of revenue, leaving 25% to Gnome/Banshee.
Apple takes 30% of the sales price - the same part a vendor would get, taking away 100% of the revenue.
