There is also much discussion on the news sites, for example:

Personally, there is nothing they could do persuade me to turn to the
dark side.  The big difference is that they are in it for the money.
Money drives the company, all they want is 100% of the market so they
can maximise their profits.  I'll stop now before I start to rant.....

Have a great Christmas everyone.
