When someone makes a bad decision I like to encourage them when they do an about-face.

No, you're right. When someone makes a bad decision let's hate on them for life; even if they do an about-face. Apple is a corporation , and isn't human. Don't be fooled; they are only responding to market pressure.

Sure. But market pressure, when examined through a powerful microscope, turns out to be composed of thousands of individual atoms of customer feedback. Like the one above.

Google Voice, C64 BASIC, and now this! Yay Apple!

Yay Microsoft for allowing those on Windows! Yay Google for allowing it on Android! Yay Canonical for allowing it on Ubuntu!

You forgot "Yay Apple for allowing it on OSX"

Also, can't wait to use VLC on Windows Phone 7!

Agreed, but the GP has a point, you should keep perspective and realize that they can make the about-face because they were f'ing up earlier.

So we should encourage them not to make the same mistakes again, but it's not a reason to sing their praise.
