You continue to be disingenuous

Apple counts *all* apps, for *all* its systems (itune, iphone, etc)

So it is not fair to remove older releases, Apple counts them too

It is not fair to count only Fedora but not OLPC, Centos, RHEL, etc Apple counts different lines of products too

And lastly, Apple does not have the aggressive culling processes of a distribution like Fedora. Fedora worries about mirror space, Apple worries about getting the highest number count possible in press releases.

Yet, even given all this, Apple does not manage to equal the Fedora ecosystem alone.

So your chosen example nicely disproves your point.

"You continue to be disingenuous"

Well, thank you for your polite, respectful and informative words. You have eloquently convinced me, now I see that I was wrong all along.
