Well, you can bet on it - Jobs is like that, he gives users a "Unix" OS and
then straddles them with proprietary software solutions - they can't even
use fsck to correct the fs, they will end up with another Symantec solution,
same goes with nearly everything else. If you install anything and or
customize it, Apple deletes it on the next software upgrade, which you no
longer have any choice on what and where it installs - it just over writes
your files.
