Erm, but that was the point of my post - when it comes to video, everyone does has their own closed eco-system. If you buy a downloadable video from Amazon, you need the Amazon player to play it. If you buy a video with Zune, you need a Microsoft player or device to play it. How is that any different to Apple?
In fact Google and Microsoft are more the exception than the rule.

Do you notice their operating systems runnign on phones by Motorola or HTC or Samsung? For some reason no-one seems to criticise them for that in the way they do Apple, though...
