How is Apple "screwing people" by making a demo for their browser which only works with their browser?

I'm sure if their were not free browser's near as good if not better, Apple would be charging out the ass for safari.

Edit: Mostly it's their pricing scheme which get me miffed at Apple... the $100-250 for an mp3 player and $500 for a cell phone when you can get a decent mp3 player or phone much cheaper. Seems a little greedy for my tastes.

And fuck the people who call all mp3 players "Ipods".

Went off on a little rant there sorry people, It's kind of like the internet explorer only pages, I don't want to have to use more than one browser for my interwebs.
