  The seeming tension between vertical integration and open systems is an interesting question. I think the ideal is to have both tight software-hardware integration and maximum freedom and openness. I really don't see a reason why these two concepts must always be viewed as opposites, especially if you are able to question the underlying legal and economic assumptions that most people start with.
