New Except they need developers to write apps.
And no developer will write apps they don't think will run on the platform.

So how will they keep bad developers and good developers sorted out?

TCP is like nukes - use them and everybody loses. Developers will abandon the platform and take the customers with them.

New Agreed but...
my question was why Apple would need luck to be able to patch gcc to do TCP. I have no questions about whether TCP would be a very stupid thing for them to do.

That is, Peter was suggesting that they couldn't do what Yager was recommending. I don't see that. Obviously they don't want to do that, but that is separate.

Cheers,
Ben
